| Description: | Eliyo explains that St Gabriel is from Beth Qustan, and that his house is called the Ruins of St Gabriel. He tells us that there is a tradition of making fire on the day of his departure, which is on Chritmas eve. They put rasisins in the fire, and each person and animal in the household eats the raisins as a blessing. Eliyo explains that St Gabriel remained in the St John Monastery which is between Hah and Beth Qustan. St Gabriel's parents wanted the marry him, and they were bothering him at the monastery. He therefore left the St John Monastery and headed for the Qartmin Monastery (later St Gabriel Monastery), which is ca 30-35 km far away. St Gabriel performed many miracles. One of them is that of St John the Arab, whose skull stil remains today, and it is used to bathe infertile women so that they can carry children. | |
