A miracle by the Holy Theotokos was reported at one of the monasteries of Saidnaya. This town is one of the most famous Christian inhabited and
pilgrimage places in the war torn Syria. The incident was told by one of the
Syrian Christian who visited her homeland recently. The ongoing civil war has
destroyed several Christian institutions and displaced thousands of Christian
families in Saidnaya.
The
Miraculous incident took place last month when a rebel group fired rockets at
one of the monasteries. The Nuns inside the monasteries experienced huge sound
and vibration as part of the rocket launch. They were sure that the rocket
would kill them and also damage the monastery complex. But nothing happened as
they expected and the nuns wondered on ‘fate’ of the rocket.
A few
days later one of the Military Generals from the Syrian Army visited the
monastery to convey Nativity and New Year greetings. During the conversation
the Officer asked whether the monastery experienced anything unusual recently.
The nuns told about the rocket which was fired by some rebels at the monastery
but did not strike them. The officer was amazed to hear the same and he
confirmed that even he saw the rocket fired towards the monastery, but he along
with some others saw something very strange and unusual. The rocket was about
to hit the monastery but suddenly a women dressed in blue vestment appeared in
the sky and took the rockets by her hands and threw it away. This was great
wonder to all of them. The General wondered who that lady would be, who is
dressed in blue with amazing grace allover her. Finally they realized that it
was none other than the Holy Theotokos the mother of Christ our Good, Lord and
Savior.
