In the religious narrative studied by Odília Alves Gameiro, the coax of the frogs disturbed the nuns when they were preparing for a craft. Little lady would have stopped the noise. The municipality includes this episode among the miracles attributed to the saint. It is a history of devotional tradition, told to know the imaginary linked to their worship, without presenting it as an event demonstrated.
