In 1231 at Caravaca do la Cruz, Spain, a priest imprisoned during the Moorish occupation was instructed by his captors to say a Mass in order to satisfy their curiosity about the Catholic rite.
  The priest began but stopped when he realized that a required element, a cross, was not present. His captors grew angry at the delay, but then, through an open window, a cross appeared: the Pectoral Cross of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, miraculously trans-ported to the site by two angels. 
   Caravaca is dominated by the medieval Santuario de la Vera Cruz (Sanctuary of True Cross), and contains several convents and a fine parish church, with a miraculous cross celebrated for its healing power, in honor of which a yearly festival is held on 3 May.
