Note 56 — Chapter III · Miracles Performed Voluntarily by the Virgin
Reading edition
The conception of wounding an image is developed further in the Prim. Crón. Gral. p. 258 a 52, where a Jew for spite enters a church and wounds the image with his knife and then, hiding it under his mantle, makes his way home, where he further mutilates it. When he reaches home he finds the mantle wet with blood but he does not notice that it has dripped on the ground, thus leaving his traces. When the Christians meet at the church they miss the image and trace it by its blood. When the Jew is found, due punishment is meted out to him.
