Description:Eliyo tells us that there was an epidemic in Tur 'Abdin and people were dying. They brought out the body of St Gabriel to heal the people. They monks thought that they cannot keep the body out for long, so they decided to cut off his right hand to keep it for healing and to return the body to the grave. They all feared from St Gabriel, however, one person stepped forward to cut of his right hand. That person died instantly. They have kept his hand until today and they tradtionally used to bring it out among the people to be blessed by it on 6 August annualy, however, the date has now been changed to 31 August.
