Excerpt from Every Saturday, Vol. 6: A Journal of Choice Reading, Selected From Foreign Current Literature; July to December, 1868

When relics were not attainable, or were likely to be overshadowed by noted matter of the sort in the neighborhood, recourse was had to picture, statue, and trick, with very substantial results. Thus, one place accumulated liberal crowds by a weeping Madonna; another by a crucifix exuding blood or oil; a third by a figure which groaned; while the good fathers of Breslau, more original still, attracted and perplexed their visitors by a clever carving, which purported to represent the Devil wheeling his grandmother in a barrow.
