    The Other Side of Tana

    There Was a Monk Named

    (Continued) 👆 On the other side of Tana, there was a monk named Mekabe Egzi, and an angel called Tsilmat came to him and said, "If you deny the Creator and bury this medicine in your body, death and old age will not overtake you." However, the monk, being warned by the angel about this evil idea, buried his body in the ground. One day, God's punishment came upon him and he said to Kristos Samra: "I send you peace and beg for your mercy. I have committed many sins, to the point of denying God who created me." At that time, our Holy Mother quickly got up and went to the church, being deeply saddened by the man's words, and pointed him towards his creator. Our Lord then appeared and said, "My friend Christos Samra, I am the God who punishes, save, and forgives and this man does not deserve mercy. However, because of your love, I will have mercy on him." At this time, she bowed down before God and said "Oh God, great is your mercy and far from us is your wrath and punishment. Everything is possible for you." She begged him, and our Lord forgave the man for his sins through her prayer. After this, when she removed the medicine that was buried from his head to his toes, his blood flowed like water from a canal, and his soul departed from his body to become one with the martyrs of the community. God has given the Holy Christ Samira six wings. During her baptism, Moses took her right hand, and Elijah and John the Baptist brought the water of the Jordan River, in which the Lord was baptized, and poured it on her head. No one has been baptized in such a way since the baptism of our Lord. They prophesied that she would become the head of a monastery in a place called Gwangut, where she would have many followers and ascend to heaven. (To be continued) May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always. May the blessings of God's mother, the virgin, and the cross be upon us. Amen. © John's Repentance Follow our Telegram group every day and share it with your friends: https://t.me/orthodoxQnAs
