 In the lower part, there is a prayer in spanish to San Pascualito :

" Dearest San Pascualito

My Saint Pascual Bailón

I Offer You This Stew

And You Put the Flavor "

It tells the legend, that in an occasion Juan de Palafox, viceroy of the New Spain and archbishop of  Puebla, visited his diocese.

A poblano convent  offered him a banquet, for which the cooks of the religious community were polished especially. The principal cook was brother Pascual, and he was running on that day for the whole kitchen giving orders because of the imminence of so important visit.

It is said that brother Pascual was particularly nervous and he began to re-light his assistants, considering the disorder that was reigning in the kitchen.

The same brother Pascual began to accumulate in a platter all the ingredients to keep them in the larder and it was such his hurry that he went to stumble exactly opposite to the casserole where a few succulent "guajolotes" (turkeys) were already done.

So there went to stop the chilis, pieces of chocolate and the most varied spices beginning to lose the meal that had to offer to the Viceroy.

It was so much brother's Pascual anxiety, that he began to pray with all his faith, exactly when they were warning him that the messmates were seated to the table. A little bit later, he could not believe when the whole world praised the eventful saucer.

This legend had so much popular reception that even today, in the small towns, the cursory housewives invoke the help of the friar with the following poem: " San Pascual Bailón, stokes my stove "
