Description:Iskender tells us that St Gabriel is the saint who ceases miscarriages. In return, the parents donate to the monastery in different ways. One way is that they do not cut the hair of the child until the age of seven, and they then take the child to the monastery to have a haircut. They weigh the hair and donate money equivalent to the weight of the hair. Iskender then talks about the ruins of St Gabriel which are his home in Beth Qustan. Iskender claims that the ruins of Mor Gabriel belong to his own family, claiming being related with St Gabriel. Iskender then talks about the life of St Gabriel in the village and explains the reasons why he left the village.
The Beth Qustan dialect of the Central Neo-Aramaic, Turoyo, which is the language of Tur 'Abdin, South Eastern Turkey, with an estimated 20 families remaining in the village.This project will document socio-cultural practices of the Turoyo speaking community in Tur 'Abdin, focusing on vernacular tales, particularly those that demonstrate cultural interaction between Muslims and Christians, including Muslim visitations to the shrines of Christian saints, and consultation of soothsayers by Christians.
