[1] Strobl's legend appears to be based on the popular medieval cult of Saint Wilgefortis.
A princess named Solicitous was very devoted to her religion and vowed to God that she would remain a virgin and never marry anyone.
One day, a poor musician knelt down to pray in front of the statue.
St. Solicitous was very happy and gave him one of her golden shoes, which he happily took home.
When they arrived at the church, St. Solicitous gave him her other golden shoe, proving his innocence.
