praying and praying
People had many theorys for what the plague was. One theory was that the plague was like archers shooting arrows, some would be hit and others would not. So people started praying to Saint Sebastian. Saint Sebastian was prayed to because he had been shot with many arrows and surivived. People prayed and some didn't get the disease and still some did, but those who did pray and survive were forever grateful. However people stopped believing praying to Saint Sebastian would work. So they started to pray to another saint. They prayed to Saint Roch, because he had surived The Black Death also he had donated his fortune to the sick and poor.
