medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Some little voice in the back of my brain is saying you should look in the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso " El Sabio" of Castille. I am pretty sure I saw this there, but don't have time to check right now

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear listmembers:
I am pursuing the origins of the following folk-tale on a Romanesque
church:
A jealous old husband was convinced that her young and very pious wife was
so fond of going to the parish church because it was supposed to be the
"meeting point" with her clandestine (and -as we learn at the end of the
story- imaginary) lover.
One day, the angry old man decided to kill both (supposed) lovers and
rushed from his house to the church, armed with an axe. When he was about to
enter the temple, the door was miraculously bricked up by "the hand of God",
so the young woman was safe of any harm.
Have you ever heard of any similar story?
Any help would be very welcome
Thanks!
