The Ring on the Altar in Vörå

Österbotten · Finland · Church

As priest, dog and cawing raven the boy was tested - but he stood firm.

In Vörå they tell of a pregnant woman who pledged away what she carried under her apron and thereby her son. The priest set the boy on the altar, carved a ring with the name of Jesus and bade him neither speak nor move. The evil one came as a priest, a black dog and a cawing raven, but the boy stood still until the priest himself fetched him.
