The goddess of fertility

There are so many myths about fertility that childless couples would resort to the myths in the hope of having a child of their own. In one province here, there is the Santa Clara street dancing. Santa Clara is a patron saint for fertility. A woman who has difficulty in getting pregnant is advised to join the street dancing on the feast day of the saint and the festivities of that town. The street dancing is actually a parade composed of a band and the dancing women which are mostly aged.

There is also the so called goddess of pregnancy that all you have to do is to touch the bulging tummy so that you will be blessed with a pregnancy. Although those are obviously myths but many are patronizing and maybe they somehow get pregnant otherwise no one will believe in them anymore.
