1. HOLY MARY OF THE SNOWS
This is number 15 in the Florence Codex and has 14 stanzas. It tells the story of how the church of Our Lady of the Snows was founded, the first church dedicated to Holy Mary in Rome. The events took place on 5th August in the year 352 under Pope Liberius

2. EMPRESS OF ROME
This is number 15 in the Codex of El Escorial and number 19 in the Toledo Codex. In this song with 26 stanzas and 159 lines in longmetre, Holy Mary helps Beatriz, empress of Rome, to escape the suffering and injustice to which she is submitted after defending her chastity and marital fidelity.

3. THE IMAGE IN ST. JOHN LATERAN
This is the story of the miracle of the Virgin Mary in the church of St. John Lateran in Rome. A woman went to confess her many sins, which according to her confessor where unpardonable. He told her ironically that the image of the Virgin painted on a wall would have to move to another wall for him to forgive her.

4. LADY OF ROME
Holy Mary saves a pious woman accused by the devil of incest and infanticide. She had been widowed and she consoled herself with her son, by whom she eventually became pregnant. When her new son was born she killed him in secret.

5. THE HERETIC OF ROME
Cantiga number 20 in the Florence Codex. Painted on a wall in the church of St. John Lateran, there was an image of the Virgin Mary with the Angel of the Annunciation. The artist had painted her with a belt fastened above her belly making it obvious she was pregnant. A heretic commented that being a virgin she could not be pregnant. At that moment, the belt in the painting dropped to the image’s waist, in the way a woman would wear it before conception. The man asked for forgiveness crying before the image of the Virgin.
