Titles
- Miracle of Mary: Dabra Zamaddo's Lady Mahdara Maryam and how the Virgin Mary claimed her house as a churchgez
General description
A posthumous Miracle of Mary. In the country of Magdalo there was a church built in the name of Mary, and near this church there lived a woman named Mahdara Maryam. After many years of living there and devoting herself to Mary, Mahdara Maryam’s husband, who was the country’s ruler, moved her to compound sixty miles away from the church. Her husband went on a long military campaign, and while he was away he committed adultery. Mahdara Maryam heard about this and sent her husband a letter expressing her wish never to see him again. He obeyed her wish. Recognizing this woman as a chosen one, Mary sent a letter to Mahdara Maryam asking her to give up the house she had built in the compound. When the woman refused, Mary sent intercessors to ask on her behalf. When Mahdara Maryam refused again, Mary went herself to ask why she had denied her. Mahdara Maryam agreed to let Mary move in, but she wanted to know where she herself would live. Mary said she should live next door so that she could come to her church night and day.
