The story is told of a traveler who looked for unusual things in the cities he visited.
During a tour of a town one day he was attracted to a remarkable spire over a public building.
Turning to see it better he noticed about two-thirds of the way up a stone figure of a lamb on the wall.
The man stopped a passerby to ask if there was some significance to the lamb stone replica.
He was told that it marked a place from which a workman had lost his balance and fell while the building was under construction.
Well, the traveler asked, "Was he killed?"
The local resident said, "No, it was a miracle.
When his friends hurried down expecting to find his mangled body on the pavement, there he was shaking and badly bruised, but with not even a broken bone."
The traveler said, "What happened?"
He said, "Well, there were several lambs that were going on their way to the slaughter, and when that mason fell he landed on the back of one of those lambs.
The lamb was killed, but his soft body broke the mason's fall and saved his life.
That builder was so impressed with that miracle that he had that stone lamb placed there as a lasting tribute."
