The legend
The story goes that on October 13, 1735, a theft took place in the Valentinus Church in Poppel, whereby the consecrated hosts and relics were stolen. The population wanted all this back and divided themselves into groups that scanned the area. Eventually it was found that the ground had been digged into the ground on the site of the former border church. When they started digging here, the hosts were found undamaged.

A variation on this legend mentions a shepherd who passed by this place with his flock of sheep, whereupon the sheep stopped and knelt godly.
