According to her legend, St. Casilda, a daughter of a
Muslim king of
Toledo,
Yahya ibn Ismail Al-Mamun, showed great compassion for Christian
prisoners by frequently smuggling
bread into the prison, hidden in a basket concealed in her clothes, to feed them. Once, she was stopped by her father and his
Muslim soldiers, and asked to reveal what she was carrying in her skirt. When she began to show them, the bread turned into a
bouquet of roses. She was raised a Muslim, but when she became ill as a young woman, she refused help from the local
Arab doctors and traveled to northern
Iberia to partake of the healing waters of the
shrine of San Vicente, near Buezo, close to
Briviesca. == Gallery ==
