The church of St. Clare of Montefalco.

 In a Church of Montefalco, centuries ago, was a very special story. A pilgrim had come from afar to worship the two saints of the Church and the Blessed Knabben (whose remains were - and are - placed in a grave of glass). It was now very late, so the priest gave hospitality to the pilgrim. The next morning, when the priest went to open the Church, the pilgrim found crouching in a position of prayer, the priest came over to wake him, but realized he was dead. So he decided to bury him, especially as they had no recognition. The next day the burial, the priest found the pilgrim, who died in the prayer position in front of the two saints, put it back in his grave, but the story was repeated several times, until the priest decided to keep it in a tomb in its glass alongside that of the two saints. The body of the pilgrim is intact and it is said, that many have had with turning to him. So since then the church has been enriched by a new saint to whom be devoted.
