The Santero's Miracle
Book (italiano):
In this bilingual story of faith, don Jacobo has a dream that, in the end, is a reminder that miracles do happen.<BR>Don Jacobo is teaching his visiting grandson Andres how to become a santero. Christmas is coming, snow is falling in the village and the two are working on a carving of San Isidro, the patron saint of farmers.<BR>The half-finished carving stands in the living room beside the two oxen and the angel that don Jacobo carved earlier in the month. The snow-covered mountains are beautiful, but the road to the village is impassable. Andres's parents will not be able to get to the house for the holiday, and don Jacobo's neighbor, don Leopoldo, is desperately ill and cannot get to the hospital.<BR>Then comes don Jacobo's dream: San Isidro is plowing with the two oxen and the angel is helping. "But we don't plow 'til April," don Jacobo muses upon wakening. "What does it mean?"
