One year on the feast day of Saint Maurice, all the inhabitants of the village climbed up to the hermitage to attend a solemn mass held in the saint's honour. All of a sudden,
just after the mass had started, they were interrupted by two hunters who weren't from thereabouts who began to make fun of the devotion of those living there. The hunters
then decided to go with their dog to hunt a fine specimen of a Pyrenean chamois. They were climbing up the mountain when they saw a large, outstanding chamois, the head of
which could be seen in the valley between the two mountain peaks. When they got to that place, the chamois had mysteriously disappeared and at that precise moment a flash
of lightning struck down the two hunters and their dog, turning them into stone. |
