Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: An old maid prays to a statue of the Virgin Mary, asking her to grant her a husband. Hidden behind the statue, a man (sexton) answers that this cannot be. The old maid tells the baby Jesus to keep quiet, she had been speaking to his mother who will be more sympathetic to her request. In some variants a saint does not answer the prayer of a certain woman. The woman curses him or takes violent revenge on his picture (statue) [V123]. (Previously Type 1479**) Cf. Types 1324A*, 1347*, and 1380A*.
