However, every time they discovered her, they turned her back and she, in order not to return to the City, took with her the pillar that had tied her together with the chain, which are saved to this day. In fact, on a rock below the Monastery the figure of the Virgin Mary has been reflected, where according to tradition the image was stopped there for the first time.
