To find treasure

Take an agate and make it red-hot on the iron of a lumberjack's axe. Then, lay the ax on the floor in such a manner that the cutting edge is turned to the sky. Place the agate on the axe edge; if it rests, there is no treasure. If it falls; let it fall and repeat 3 times. If it rolls three times in the same direction, it’s a certain sign that a treasure is is buried in the ground at that spot. If it takes each time a different route, it’s a sign that there is a treasure but you will have to search elsewhere.

Saint Farce surrendered his soul at the age of 18 months of age after receiving baptism. After his death, his little body exhaled a perfume so angelic that many idolaters were converted by the sniffing.

Saint Hortensia who refused to sacrifice to idols, was, although of noble birth, condemned and tortured. Conducted amidst jeers to an oil mill, she was crushed like an olive.
