The Black Dog in Nagu Church

Egentliga Finland · Finland · Church

If a priest wears his cloak in the pulpit he can see whether the devil is in church, in Nagu he came as a black dog.

It was commonly said that a priest preaching in his cloak could see whether the devil was present in the church. Some decades ago a priest in Nagu is said to have had the courage to try this and then saw the devil in the shape of an unusually large black dog, which now lay before the altar, now paced back and forth in front of it.
