Description:
Legend tells that one day a merchant from Scherpenheuvel was returning home in the evening. In a forest, he was ambushed by robbers. The merchant attacked the robbers and even wounded two of them, but as more robbers jumped out of the bushes, he decided to run for it. Near the village of Wiekevorst (a small town near Heist-op-den-Berg), he collapsed and he prayed to God to save him. After he finished praying, suddenly all the robbers had disappeared. When the merchant got up, he saw a statue of the Virgin Mary hanging from an opposite oak tree, and next to that tree there was a large sulfur pit. The merchant then went to the parish priest in Wiekevorst, told him the whole story and then later had the chapel built.
The work was commissioned by K.F. Onafhankelijkheid Wiekevorst as part of the alliance 'Fanfarissimo', a collaboration of nine leading fanfare bands. By joining forces, they want to give the repertoire for fanfare bands a quality boost.
