It follows a lady called Mariana who after praying to Saint Catherine for a husband, had to choose between two men. One was a nobleman, the other a simple but stronger worker – both good looking.

Desperate, she turned once more to Saint Catherine and prayed. Once she got home, she found a cake, adorned with the same flowers she offered to the Saint and thought it was a peace offer from the nobleman. She gathered courage to say thank you to him.

All made peace with each other – the worker, the nobleman and Mariana. The good news spread through the village. The cake became known as ‘’folore’’ and as a symbol of selfless friendship.
