Legend has it that when St. Gens was born, his mother died giving birth. This legend is the origin of a curious tradition, which still is fulfilled, according to which a pregnant woman who wants to make sure that she will have a successful birth should sit in the "Chair of St. Gens." This chair is stored in the marble chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte on Mount São Gens. The arms thus show the chair in the centre. | Legend has it that when St. Gens was born, his mother died giving birth.
