There are several legends in the region that claim to justify the origin of the Sanctuary. They have in common the miraculous action of an ancient stone cross with the carved image of Christ crucified, now exposed on the main altar of the church. The most popular says that in the 1730s, when the region was experiencing a prolonged drought with great damage to agriculture, a farmer was called by the image, which was hidden in a combro among brambles, on land belonging to the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria de Óbidos, next to the road that connected this town to Caldas da Rainha . The image "claimed" veneration for him, which the farmer came to fulfill with the help of some other popular people, and from then on the rains registered. Tradition also claims that that small sculpture had been placed there by Queen Leonor herself, to indicate the path of the healing waters of Caldas, constituting an object of veneration at the time of that sovereign, but having later fallen into oblivion. With its rediscovery by the farmer and the subsequent "miracle", the image was once again an object of popular devotion, and a wooden chapel was erected to house it. In 1737, the symbolic offering of the first alms coin was made for the construction of a new temple that would house the miraculous image of Senhor Jesus da Pedra, so that, at the risk of the architect Captain Rodrigo Franco , of Mitra Patriarcal, in 1740 it was launched the first stone of the temple, dedicated to Saint Thomas the Apostle , by D. José Dantas Barbosa , archbishop of Lacedemónia, minister of the patriarchal curia, judge of genere justifications and delegate of D. Tomás de Almeida , cardinal patriarch. The works received a new impetus from 1742, when João V of Portugal began his treatments at the Thermal Hospital Rainha D. Leonor , going on to frequently visit the image of Senhor Jesus da Pedra, for which he had great veneration, offering him large alms. . With these aids, in 1747 the opening ceremonies of the Sanctuary began, with the arrival in Óbidos of the Archbishop of Lacedemonia, and reception next to the Sanctuary, where a prayer was said. The archbishop visited the Royal Family in Caldas da Rainha, informing the sovereign of the dates planned for the celebrations. The latter, in turn, granted his approval and ordered that the treasure of the Church of Nossa Senhora do Pópulo be made available for the ceremonies.
