The towel is a quilt. The napkin rings were made by me.
The miracle of Santa Margarida:
The people tell that when a plague of locusts invaded the region, devouring everything, the people of Oleiros asked the Saint to free them from such a terrible scourge. She complied with her request and the locusts, forming long lines, made their way to the stream, where they drowned.
The people, grateful, decided to hold a big festival / party, every year in honor of Santa Margarida, which until today is held on the second weekend of August.
