Tired, desperate and sad for their losses...
citizens gathered to see what was going on...
but when they witnessed the miracle, they fell on their knees...
and a new hope filled their hearts.
It may have been a sign that this was the last time a fire would devour Gric.
They will build better and more beautiful houses...
and the painting would protect the city from troubles.
The widow understood the message...
that the painting wasn't her's any more...
and belonged to her city.
With the remaining gold, she built an altar in the Stone Gate...
and placed the painting on it.
Since then...
the Virgin's smiling eyes are protecting the city and the Stone Gate.
After 100 years, when city council wanted to demolish the Stone Gate, Horbel who promoted the idea got sick and soon dried like a tobacco leaf. Same mysterious disease happened to trader Jaksic, who offered to cover the cost of demolishing the Gate.
Two hundred years after the miracle happened, the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus were crowned with golden crowns, because no one ever heard that kind Mother refuse any prayer.
