The fact was that the clouds had that year withheld their moisture from the earth, and in all the villages of the district they were organising processions, rogations, and penances, imploring God to open the hands of his mercy and send the rain; and to this end the people of a village that was hard by were going in procession to a holy hermitage there was on one side of that valley.
Era el caso que aquel año habían las nubes negado su rocío a la tierra, y por todos los lugares de aquella comarca se hacían procesiones, rogativas y diciplinas, pidiendo a Dios abriese las manos de su misericordia y les lloviese; y para este efecto la gente de una aldea que allí junto estaba venía en procesión a una devota ermita que en un recuesto de aquel valle había.
