He went to a fork in the beech tree and, behold, there he drew water. With this he moistened the shepherd's sick eyelids so that they healed immediately. And to the shepherd the messenger of God said: “Go down the mountain and look for stones. Fill your shepherd's bag with it three times and carry it to this place. Then immediately start building a church, because the Lord God wants to be honored on the pinnacle of this mountain. "With that the strange apparition disappeared and the shepherd awoke.
