The Three Riddles at the Altar in Nagu
Egentliga Finland · Finland · Church
Mother's milk, a mother's embrace and her heart - three answers that defeated the evil one.
In Nagu the hymn Wake up, my soul, give glory is linked to a boy pledged to a dark power while still in the womb. Protected within the altar ring, he resisted every attempt to lure him out, even when the evil one took the priest's shape. At last the foe had to pose three riddles about the sweetest, softest and hardest things, which the boy answered with mother's milk, a mother's embrace and her heart.
