When God created the world He looked at everything He had done and found that it was good. Then all His angels gathered around Him and also saw that it was good. But there was one angel standing sadly in the corner of the bright vault of heaven. This was the Angel of Mercy. "Why are you so unhappy?" God asked. "Is not the world I have created beautiful?" "It is very beautiful indeed," answered the Angel, "but how can I be happy when I behold only sand and stones in Kashubia!" The Angel fell on his knees before God and implored, "Oh Lord! Do you not have any spare fertile land?" And God directed His attention to a piece of land. There was fertile soil and clear water, leafy trees and flowering plants, tall hills and beautiful valleys. "Take these," said the Creator, "and act as your heart directs you!" Then the Angel of Mercy distributed these lands around the Kashubian region and called them "Mary's Paradise".'
