The Devil and the Blacksmith

The Devil is challenged by the Angel Michael to prove that he can corrupt any man he chooses. He selects the most righteous man in the village, the blacksmith, who endures a tormenting wife and failing business only to discover that sudden success extracts a terrible price. Extracted from an 1800 year-old Syrian legend, The Devil and the Blacksmith" illustrates the charm and darkness of early Christian tales.
