The bubonic plague, which occurred between the fifteen and eighteen century, destroyed and aggravated Europe in a way which lead to a social and economic breakdown. It was a time when Europe was beginning its transition from a folk society to a more scientific society which in turn formulated different types of responses to the cause of the plague ranging from an irrational, social, and economic points of view and while at the same time, people commenced to formulate unique scientific solutions to the cause of the plague showing Europe’s secularization from a supernatural society into a rational society. During the plagues, responses to medical disasters demonstrated an irrational or supernatural belief. In 1624, Lisabetta Centenni, a housewife, considered her husband to have been cured by the consuming of a piece of bread, which was, touched the body of St. Domenica (Doc 7). It was a time of confusion as the church was still suffering from the great schism which lead people to manifest their believes in different ways. It was not secure to believe the church gave true salvation; from a society, which was mainly composed of religious communities, the sense of religious insecurity became more common. Lisabetta argued her husband was cured because St. Domenica had touched the bread, which in turn shows the church was losing its influence over the comunities.
