The Devil and the Cobbler at Old Regna Church
Östergötland · Sweden · Church
At old Regna church, the Devil raced a cobbler to stitch shoes — and his thread stretched all the way down to the churchyard slope.
At the old church in Regna, the Devil is said to have once competed with a cobbler over who could stitch shoes fastest. The Devil drew his waxed thread so long that it reached down to the churchyard slope. When a farmer came driving a load of hay, he got tangled in the thread, but the Devil quickly snatched it all up, tapped it with his hammer, and remarked indifferently that there was a knot now, though it made no difference.
