Title
- Dabra Zamaddo's righteous Walda hawaryat and the glory of Mahlet.
Description
Walda Hawaryat was a loyal follower of Mary. But whereas he read the Mahleta Sege in silence, the other clergy loved to sing it. One day Mary came to Walda Hawaryat and informed him that she would go to the other clergy and strengthen them against exhaustion. Walda Hawaryat asked why Mary would not offer him strength as well. Mary replied that the other clergy needed it more, since when they performed the Mahlet, they sang and danced strenuously. When Mary left to attend to the other clergy, Walda Hawaryat followed her and watched as she handed them instruments and wiped their sweating faces. After witnessing this miracle, Walda Hawaryat decided it was better to sing and dance the Maḫlet with others rather than read it silently, alone.
