Legends of Girona - Pt 7 "La Mayordoma"

Now, a legend! ;)

La Mayordoma

Many, many years ago, when the bishop came to Girona, he brought with him his housekeeper, who was an ancient 100 years old lady, immensely fat, and she used to wear very flashy coloured clothes and accessories, she was a very gossip and unpleasant woman, but she was a great cook and invented many delicious dishes. The things was that she happened to master the mystic and magical arts, but she used that for the evil!

Every time this woman walked on the street, everybody looked, due to her not very modest clothing and behaviour. One of those days, she got so angry that she  put a spell on all the churches in Girona with huge spider webs with even bigger spiders on it, really huge spiders  in every colour you can imagine!

 

After that, Sant Narcís took all her power from her and turned her into the Jester of the city. Until one day, she had a vision of the tragic death of Saint Narcís and Saint Felix, and it really happened, since this happening, she became into a humble woman and devoted her life to help the poor and weak people. Before she died, she wanted to make another love gesture to show that she had really changed and made a huge fire in front of the cathedral and prepared mint soup to all the poor and sick people around.

After her death, during her funeral, people were very surprised when they went to carry her body and realised that she was lighter than a little bird!

So, what do you think of this legend?
