Plot
Catholic Church workers dig up the body of a 19th-century church official, whose casket has a box-shaped urn chained to it. Inside they discover artifacts of Mater Lachrymarum (Moran Atias), the last surviving member of the Three Mothers, an ancient trio of powerful witches. The box contains a magic tunic that, when worn by Mater Lachrymarum, increases her powers significantly.
