• Dabra Zamaddo's Abbot Abuna Bartalomewos and how a fountain of honey milk sprang up under his feet

Description

Abbuna Bartalomewos brought a tabot into the grotto at Dabra Zamaddo, and there he established a place to stand on top of a rock. The grotto was very dry, and one day, as the abbot was standing there, Mary caused milk to spring from under his feet. Abbuna Bartalomewos praised Mary for performing her miracle, then asked her to change the milk into water, as water was more appropriate for the monks. Mary heard the abbot’s request and changed the milk into water.
