In a nutshell, the legend of the Beerse Strijkster tells that on a Maundy Thursday somewhere in the year 1865, three women were in the old Sint Willibrord church when lightning struck. One woman died instantly, two survived. One of these two women has since claimed to have healing powers. By stroking someone with her hands, she could cure various complaints and illnesses. People from far and wide visited her.
