Something went wrong!
Hang in there while we get back on track
"One day, my mother and I were walking home from the village of Miadzvedauka along the railway. Suddenly, she stopped near a large stone and began to pray. I looked closely and saw that the stone resembled a bear lying down. My mother told me:
“The Virgin Mary was once walking along this road when a bear roared at her. She cursed the bear, and it turned to stone.”"
