Scholarly Info
Description |
The entire congregation went barefoot to the church of St Mary. They had to cross a stretch of water by boat to return home. As the boot was filled too full, it drifted out into the middle of the swamp and was about to sink. Oswald 8, realising what was happening, raised his right hand and promised that Christ's help would come quickly from on high. The boat was thus taken safely back to shore. |
