Sepultum est autem corpus venerabile virginis et sponsae Christi, in ecclesia beati protomartyris Stephani: placuitque post diem tertium, ut lapis quo monumentum tegebatur, amoveretur, et altius ipso in loco reponeretur: quod dum fieret, tantae fragrantia suavitatis ab imis ebullivit, ut cunctis qui adstabant fratribus ac sororibus, quasi opobalsami cellaria esse viderentur aperta.
Further, the honourable body of Christs virgin and spouse was buried in the church of the blessed first martyr Stephen: and it was thought good three days after the burial that the stone wherewith the grave was covered should be laid aside and reared up higher in the very same place: at the doing whereof such a sweet-smelling savour did break forth from the bottom of the earth, that to all the brethren and sisters that stood by there seemed as though there were store chambers of balm natural opened.
