 Protected
by the darkness of the night, a boat without helm came closer to the
Galician coast. The ship was guided alone toward the entrance of the
creek, where it stopped on a small beach. Four men jumped out to the
groung and they took out a body wrapped in a white sheet: the Apostle
Saint-James.
Looking for an appropriate place to give a noble
sepulchre to Christ's pupil, two of the men sighted a magnificent
castle in the distance. They headed to the castle and they requested
there an audience to the King.
The servants of Saint-James were taken to the
Land's End's Queen Lupa, who ordered to imprison them because of their
arrogance.
At night, when those chained Christian were
requesting help to their God, a luminous and starry splendor opened
the jail's doors and the prisoners could escape.
When the gardians realized that the prisoners
had escaped they started to chase them, but when the
Queen's soldiers passed by a bridge, it collapsed and killed all the
pursuers.
The Christians returned then to Queen Lupa trusting
in their God's power:
- It will be better for you to help us.
We need a cart and a couple of oxen to transport in our master Saint-James.
The stubborn Queen Lupa gave them a couple of
wild bulls instead of the oxen, but everybody was astonished when
observing how the bulls acted gently with the Christians.
It is said that, after that, astounded of so
many miracles, Queen Lupa became Christian and ordered to demolish
the Celtic sacred places like the Ara Solis.
