Description: | Suleyman tells us the story of a Christian tax collector visiting the village during Great Lent. He was asked what he would like to eat, and he desired eggs, which are prohibited to eat when fasting. Once the villagers heard about this, they wished his death. The tax collector died that day. The mother of the tax collector visited the bishop to complain about the death of her son. The bishop told the mother that there was nothing he could do and that the Qusneans are so faithful that they could even wish for his own death. | |
