Miracles of Mabāʾa Ṣǝyon

In the name of the Father, we write from the homily of the commemoration of our Saviour, which is read every month in every place in the church. What was revealed to him, to Mabāʾa Ṣǝyon, for the sake of salvation, which was given to the faithful and a stone of stumbling to the heretics, which honors this feast. By the power of his cross, may he protect him. Amen. How the saint healed a child with a swollen throat A certain woman came, carrying a sick child whose throat was swollen, who could not swallow a morsel for his mother. And she said to our father, "Look, father, for my son is dying, and heal him for me. I have trusted in your God." And he said to her, "If this child is healed, will you bring him to the celebration of the commemoration of the Saviour?" And she said to him, "Yes, it shall be as you say.

And a woman came, carrying a sick infant who was near death, and she placed him under his feet. And she said to him, "Take this child; if you heal him by your prayer, may he be your servant, O holy one." And he said to her, "As for me, I am not; rather, let him be the servant of our Lord Jesus Christ." And there was in Asfereda a full measure of dough, which is made for the bread of the commemoration of the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ; and above the dough a brilliant light appeared, blazing like fire that flashes repeatedly.

And a woman came and said to our father Takla Māryām, "Remember me in your prayer, O holy one, for I have sought out many saints and have not accomplished my search." There was a woman, one of the followers of our father Takla Māryām, and she asked him to give her from the bread of his commemoration of the Saviour of the World. And he gave her two pieces. And as she went, she met a monk, and he asked her to give him those pieces. One day, as he was giving them from that bread with his hands, as he always gave them after the offering of our father Takla Māryām, a man partook after he had eaten another bread, and no one knew who had done this.

Hearken, O my fathers and my brethren who love Christ, the greatness of his miracles. Our blessed father Takla Māryām loved the Saviour of us, and he did not compare him with other feasts in the abundance of incense and the fragrance of oil. Hearken to what the Saviour said: "He who makes a commemoration for me with bread and drink, or who gives an offering to the church from the depth of his heart, remembering my crucifixion, truly I will bless him." And again, on one day, while our father Takla Māryām was standing in prayer in the open air, he saw a child from afar, playing like children, holding a rod of gold.
