The blind woodcutter healed

Eighty-seven churches, one blind woodcutter, and the touch of a saintly king.

Royal Berkshire History retells a miracle of Edward the Confessor at Old Windsor, where the Saxon kings had a palace. A woodcutter fell asleep in the forest and woke up blind. After long suffering he dreamed that he should pray in eighty-seven churches. He did so, and at the end of his pilgrimage came to Old Windsor and sat in the king's porch. King Edward heard of his dream, dipped his hand in holy water and laid it on the man's eyes, and his sight came back at once.
