After Mass, the wife took the Host home and put it in a trunk inside the room. While asleep the husband and the wife, at dawn, they woke up with a strong glow like the sun into the room. The Host glowed with all splendor. Two Angels were prostrate before it. The Angels took it from inside the trunk. All neighbors saw a flash and went to the house. The priest put the Host in a reliquary and it is incorrupt to this day in a sanctuary dedicated to the miracle.
