معجزة نقل جبل المقطم......(مدموج)

[Peace4All]

However, the events were sufficiently memorable for them to be common knowledge throughout the Middle East, so that the Venetian explorer, Marco Polo (died circa 1324) recounts them in his Travels. Polo believes the miracle had taken place in 1225 (only a couple of generations earlier than when he had heard the story) and places it somewhere in modern Iraq without giving any of the names of the principal protagonists but it is immediately recognisable as the miracle of Mokkatam Mountain. There are of course minor variations between the accounts of Polo and Bishop Sawirus (the Caliph is hostile rather than manipulated by his vizier; they are given ten, rather than three days grace; the vision is of an angel rather than Saint Mary; and it is made public to all the Christians rather than the quiet one-to-one exchange between Pope Abraam and Saint Samaan) but in other respects Polo recounts the story he has been told faithfully, which is possibly a testimony to the reliability of oral tradition.
