One of the symptoms are the tongues are getting black, headache, flu and stomach ache and the infected person will die after an hour which they have no time to received the last sacrament. The people prayed and begged to God for help. To strengthen their petitions, they gathered the names of the Saints who were known by their miracles.

Then in September 22, 1445 in the Convent of Bavaria, one young shepherd saw a child crying on the farm owned by the Cisterians. When he tried to get close, the child disappeared. When he returned to his sheep, he once again looked at the farm and saw the child again. When he went to the child, he saw the child while having a light on his head with two candles besides him. The young shepherd was frightened on what he saw he quickly signed the cross to which the child smiled. He got the courage to get close but the again, the child disappeared. The Young shepherd told his parents on what he saw but they didn’t believe him. Then he went to the monastery and told them what they saw. A priest told him that when the child appears again, ask what the child wants. On June 28, 1446, the child appeared again in the farm, but now he has a red cross on his chest and surrounded by thirteen children with lights on their heads. Here, he walked close to the children and asked them what they want. The child with a red cross answered him “We are the fourteen helpers and wish to erect a chapel here, where we can rest. If you will be our servant, we will be yours!”. After this, the fourteen children disapeared. Then on Sunday, when the young boy shepherding, he saw to lightened candles descending from the heaven, it was also witnessed by a woman who passed by in the farm. Then the young shepherd ran to the monastery and told them what he saw but they didn’t believe him. When the people heard the story, they went to the place of apparition of the fourteen children. Here, many miracles occurred including healing of the serious sicknesses. Then the Cisterian monks decide to built a chapel as requested by the fourteen children. Which they identified as the Fourteen Holy Helpers. On 1743, the chapel becamed a Church.
