Un'antica leggenda popolare racconta di un bambino che i frati raccolgono in fasce e allevano con cura e amore. Fattosi più grande, Marcellino sente il bisogno di un amico, e lo trova in un crocefisso abbandonato nella soffitta del convento. Ogni giorno il bambino porta al suo nuovo amico pane e vino sottratti alla dispensa dei frati e ogni giorno Gesù ascolta le pene e i desideri del bambino. Quando questi chiederà di poter rivedere la sua mamma, che è in cielo, Gesù accoglierà Marcellino nelle sue braccia.
