"The
Miracle of the Knight’s Hand is the account of a knight who
suffered a nearly severed hand during battle.
Instead of listening to the advice of friends, family, and doctors, the
knight simply prayed to St. Mark, who miraculously healed the knight’s hand,
leaving only a small scar (Rosand, Myths
of Venice, 2, 61-64)."
