10. IL GALLO DE
BARCELOS
The legend tells of a Galician pilgrim (to be
precise, he is a man) who, while he was
returning to Santiago de Compostela, was
arrested and sentenced to death in the city
of Barcelos on the charge of having stolen
silver from a local landowner.
The condemned man, who proclaimed
himself innocent, rushed to the judge with
the intention of asking for a pardon.At that
moment, the latter was having lunch, intent
on consuming a roast rooster: the
condemned man claimed to be certain of his
innocence just as he was certain that the
rooster would rise from his plate to prove
his innocence, but the judge obviously did
not he believed it.However, just as the
pilgrim was about to be hanged, the rooster
stood up and began to sing. The judge
rushed to the place of the gallows and
ascertained that the condemned man was
still alive because the knot had not been
tightened sufficiently. Later the Galician
pilgrim would return to Barcelos, where he
would have carved the so-called Cruzeiro do
Senhor do Galo, or the "crucifix of the lord
of the rooster", a crucifix preserved in the
Archaeological Museum.
