St. Patrick's Cave (Għar San Brinkat) was believed infested by demons. Thus, people were afraid to pass by it. Once, a painting on wood that featured a crucified Christ and St. Patrick came ashore in Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq. It was taken to the cave and the demons left. The spring found was believed to be miraculous, however the faithful stopped drinking from it after lepers started bathing in it in order to heal. The painting can still be seen in the cave,.
