The Bunch of Keys in Nykarleby

Österbotten · Finland · Church

She thought she pledged away the keys - but it was the girl he wanted.

In Nykarleby they tell of a pregnant woman who, with a bunch of keys under her apron, pledged away what she carried, never guessing what the promise meant. It was the daughter she bore. To save the girl the priest set her on the altar on the night the evil one was to come, and in the morning she composed the hymn Wake up, my soul, give glory.
