After the story told by St. Norbert Adorni

(in Newsletter No. 5 of 2007)

I'll tell you the story equally true,

told by my grandfather, crosses broken.

So in the year 1909, farm workers Abeilhan,

demanding a raise and not getting it,

went on strike.

At that time, almost all the village men were

laborers.
In addition, there were "bosses" who went to Mass

and other "anti clerical" who were against the priests.

whole village was in turmoil after the refusal of employers

increase the working day.

Some men then decided to destroy all the crosses

that protected the vines;

they did the night of Saturday to Sunday.

The next morning, it was desolation for all crosses were lying on the ground.

was the day of communion.

the middle of the festive meal, a terrible storm of rain and hail

ravaged the vineyard.

But now, to Abeilhan, it rarely hail,

even less on almost all the vineyards

and never with the force.

Conclusion:

divine punishment for each other.

That year, the harvest was almost entirely lost.

Some do not even behave out to return the grapes.

"We've only done the bar"

said my grandfather and concluded:

"We have increased the workers back some cross

and prayed that such punishments are not repeated. "

Trivia:

After the disaster, almost all able-bodied men were "Expatriates" in the Aude to make such harvests, which are later than ours, with all the vagaries of the weather that followed. The women went every day to the post office to see if there was not a mandate (to boil the pot) ...

And often they received a telegram saying "Rain, soft and continuous."
