Ceramic Barcelos Rooster

The Legend of the Rooster of Barcelos
Barcelos is a small town in northern Portugal. Several crimes were committed there, and no culprit was arrested until a pilgrim on his way to Santiago de Compostela was found guilty by the court.

He claimed his innocence and, to prove it, went to the judge. Seeing a rooster in a basket near him, the accused said: "It is as true that I am innocent as your rooster will rise and crow at the moment I am hanged!"


The rooster crowed, and the judge ran to where the man had been hanged. He found that due to a poorly tied knot, the man was alive. He was thus considered innocent and set free.
