It is a beautiful story, if all is true.
What a noble thing for her to do and to tell you the truth, I am REALLY surprised that her husband kept his word!
This reference in the story:
On her deathbed, she gave a heavy gem-encrusted gold chain to the monastery, directing that it should be placed around the neck of the image of the Virgin. Those who came to pray, she said, should say a prayer for each stone in the chain.
I am wondering if they are referring this to a "rosary"? There is no reference to Lady Godiva and the rosary but it sure made me wonder.....
Thanks for the interesting read...........
