Castrelos Blacksmith legend, Vigo - Galicia
.
There was in Castrelos a blacksmith who had let go of the days of his youth without realizing that there were women in the world, and the old man had given him a completely new baby girl who was coveted by all the children of freigestry. The blacksmith was rich and managed to become the owner of the best jewel of Castrelos; But the young men, sworn in, managed to give him life.
The old woman in love nailed the windows of the house, closed the woman inside and neither did she sleep with a sleepy sleep, because on the evenings the young men filled the wind of songs of cursing and the blood of the old man came to himself.
The blacksmith's wife was very devout and tear-wounded got a license to go to mass every day. The house was next to the doorway, and the southern door of the church was right at the door of the ironworks, so that the blacksmith could work looking at his wife at the mass. With all that, and not with that, he had peace in God's house, because his master's eyes would make him away with no doubt.
One morning he came across the ironwork gate of an old woman, surrounded by witchcraft in all of Castrelos and in the surrounding area, and solemnly laid down in the ears of the blacksmith these poisonous words:
- For many laps you give them, you will die soon and your wife will marry ... you will marry a boy I know ...
At that moment, the poor married woman, kneeling in the church, asked Santa Maria for patience. The old blacksmith fitted her and felt that a bouquet of blood rose to her head. Endoudecido by the ciumes, he put an iron on it and put it on fire ... The ironwork was hard work and the iron was sharpened by a bright, luminous purple ... Then the blacksmith picked up the red hot iron and went to the church, ready to undo, in front of God himself, the beauty of his wife.
And God, the good Creator of everything, did not want the blacksmith to undo one of his best works, and when the blacksmith, blind from ciumes, was going to enter the church, he covered the door gently with a stone wall.
The miracle was sounded at that time and today the southern door of the church of Castrelos appears covered.
