Title
- Dabra Zamaddo's Qwǝrbana Dǝngǝl is saved as a child from an attack by the Arami.
Description
When Qwerbana Dengel reached school age, his parents engaged a teacher for him. He memorized the hymn (malke') of Mary, and for years he sang the hymn everywhere he went. Everyone knew him by his tendency to shout Mary’s name. The Arami who lived in the neighborhood hated the boy’s singing, so they planned to kill him. They followed Qwerbana Dengel, intending to ambush him when he was cutting wood. But even though they could clearly hear him sing the hymn to Mary, they could not find him, since the Holy Virgin hid him from their eyes.
