Ceramic Barcelos Rooster

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

He proclaimed his innocence and, to do so, went to the judge. Seeing a rooster in a basket next to him, the accused said: "It is as true that I am innocent as it is that your rooster will stand up and crow when I am hanged!"


The rooster crowed, and the judge rushed to where the man had been hanged. He found that due to the poor tightening of the knot, the man was alive. He was thus considered innocent and released.
