Titles
- Miracle of Mary: Dabra Zamaddo's Abbot Abuna Yohannǝs and how the monks revolted against himgez
General description
At Dabra Zamaddo, the monks grew arrogant and came to despise the order of Abbuna Yohannes. Disturbed and saddened by the monks’ revolt, Abbuna Yohannes confided in Mary regarding the oppression he faced. He also explained that since she was the impartial ruler of everyone at the monastery, she must decide what to do. Mary then sent a pestilence to the monastery, and forty of the monks died within a week. Abba Benyami, who lived in Garagara, witnessed the destructiveness of the pestilence and warned Abbuna Yohannes to pray to Mary and save the remaining monks. Abbuna Yohannes started rogation, and every day for twelve days he carried a big rock on his head and toured the shrine. At the end of this period, the pestilence waned. Mary also came to Abbuna Yohannes with a message for the remaining monks. The message was that the Arami would come to destroy all Christians and their churches, and that the only hope of survival would be to flee.
