A mid-aged woman arrived, talking very poor English.. And when I told her “Amharynia tenish tenish” (I speak Amharic a little bit).. She insisted that most of her speech with me be in Amharic, and not to talk in English unless I ask her to!!
وصلت امرأة في أواسط العمر، تتحدث إنجليزية ركيكة جداً.. وعندما أخبرتها "أمهارينيا تينيش تنش" (باتكلم أمهري شوية شوية).. أصرت على أن يكون معظم حديثها معي بالأمهرية، ولا تتحدث بالإنجليزية إلا حين أسألها!!
The first surprise was that at that place there was the tomb of Saint Tsaga Zab the father of Saint Taklehaimanot, and also the tomb of Saint Egzy Harya the mother of Saint Taklehaimanot..!!! That was an unknown thing for us in Egypt till that moment.. It was a great blessing.. And in both tombs there were icons for them..
المفاجأة الأولى، هي أنه موجود في هذا المكان مقبرة القديس سجا زاب والد القديس تكلا هيمانوت، ومقبرة القديسة إجزي هاريا أم القديس تكلا هيمانوت..!!! وهو أمر غير معروف لدينا في مصر حتى تلك اللحظة.. وكانت بركة رائعة.. ويوجد في كلاهما أيقونات لهما..
