There is a famous Spanish story involving a nun who
runs off with a soldier and a miraculous statue of
Mary takes her place so that no one knows the nun is
missing. Meanwhile the sisters mourn the disappearance
of their statue. When the repentant nun returns, the
statue reappears amidst great rejoicing. Alas, I am in
no way capable of supplying references but someone
else on the list may recognize this and supply what
you need.

p.s. There was a movie made of this entitled simply
"The Miracle" with Carol Baker and Roger Moore, I
think.
