Title

  • Dabra Zamaddo's man who refused to observe holy days.

Description

There was a man who lived in Wagra Sehin, the city of the saints. Although this man was a Christian in name, in his deeds he strayed from Christian law. Indeed, he followed the lead of the Arami, refusing to fast, pray, or obey the clergy. He mock the Christian religion and demanded that holy day be abolished. On the third day of Genbot (around May 7), a holy day for Mary, the man went to plow the field. At three o’clock a storm suddenly descended and the earth opened up, swallowing the man along with his oxen.
