Cantiga 163 of the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X

The Gambler who Renounced the Virgin
A gambler, playing dice in Huesca, lost everything and renounced the Virgin.

He was instantly crippled and struck dumb.

He could not move from that place, and if he wanted something he had to gesture for it.

Using sign language, he asked to be taken to Salas.

At Salas, he gazed at the Virgin’s statue and asked her pardon.

The Virgin healed him and he praised her from then on.
