The
director of the monastery, Martiros,
together with the congregation handsomely saw to
the proper requirements for the spiritual and physical burial of
Mkhitar. They laid him to rest before the door of the smaller
church which stands above the monastery on the west side. And to
this day Mkhitar's grave aids those in pain who take refuge in his
prayers, in faith; and people always take soil from that place to
cure sick people and animals, for God glorifies those that glorify
Him, in life and in death. |
