The colonial period in Latin America gave rise to many stories about monastic life. one of these legends says that nuns sacrificed themselves by being walled in alive, because the pureness of their soul would prevent the walls of the convent from crumbling during earthquakes. Mummies of nuns have been found in several convents, buried between walls.
