Our Lord’s healing water!
Sene eight is the feast of our Mother of God, Saint Mary’s Church establishment near a water stream. The water is holy which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ took out from a rock in His returning from Egypt.
This was as follows; The Angel of God was revealed to righteous Joseph in his dreams and told him to flee to Egypt taking our Lord with His mother. In his awake, Joseph took the baby Jesus, His mother and Salome to Egypt where they stayed for three years and six months.
After Herod died, the Angle of God was revealed to Joseph again, and ordered him to take back the baby and His mother to Jerusalem.
On their way back, they reached to a place locally known as “Mealika,” Then reached to a country called “Metaria.” This is a place our Lord Jesus Christ took out the holy water. The water is still found in that place.
People use to come from all over the countries and plead Holy Mother Saint Virgin Mary. They also washed with this holy water and got healed from their illness.
Glory be to God!
May the prayer, intercession and mediation of Holy Mother Saint Virgin Mary be with us; Amen!
