Title

  • Dabra Zamaddo's righteous monk who was afflicted by bugs.

Description

There was an abbot who devoted himself wholly to Mary. For his bed covering he used a goat skin, under which there was an infestation of bugs. The abbot was embarrassed by his situation and did not want to mention it to the other monks. So he prayed to Mary instead, asking her to send him birds to deal with his bug problem. Birds immediately appeared.
