  • Summary: The tale of the new Saint. One time, when they were fed up with their local saint as their Patron, they decided it was time to change him. Two men went down to Pamplona to buy a new figure of a new saint. They saw a shiny black saint in a shop window made from tar and they bought it. They loaded it unto the mule and headed back to the village. On the way they stopped to have some lunch. They unloaded the mule and left the saint standing on a bit of cloth in the open air. The sun soon did its work and melted the saint away. When they men came out after lunch they saw the stained cloth and exclaimed: “The old saint never did much good for us and this new one has gone and shat on the cloth and made off.”
