Description: | Suleyman tells us that the villagers were very faithful. He explains that they were once told off by the priest for rushing to recieve the communion. He also tells us that there was a tradition of burning woods in the church and the charcoal would be taken home as a blessing to be placed in the lands. However, the Qusneans would grab the wood whilst on fire. Suleyman says that their hands would not burn quickly since they were very tough as they used to work barehand in their lands. | |
