Subject: Signs in an old church, Al Khader

Location: Al Khader Church – Assalt City



I’ve heard that some Christian signs at the old Khader church in Assalt have been appearing, this church is one of the oldest ones in town, and has been newly renovated.

Rumors says that, Saint Khader, appears there suddenly, hits the ground with his spear, a tremendous sound is heard and then he disappears, all that happens in a matter of seconds.

The Story was first told by a mother, who had a daughter that lost her vision, the mother used to come and pray each day at the church for her child to see again, one day she heard that sound, she ran toward it and was surprised by signs left behind, signs that looks more as shapes over the floor or the walls of the church, u can hardly tell its there till u focus a bit, signs like the face of Christ, the cross, a foot print of saint Khader and a mark for where he hit the ground.

Anyway, that same day her daughter gained her vision.

There is as well a cave inside the church, the story continues by saying that the picture of Virgin Mary inside has been generating holy oil by itself, people are taking blesses with this oil, making wishes on pieces of paper and throwing them into the cave

Words are telling that such sounds are still heard and new signs are appearing.

The old church was filled with curious people who came to see, take photos, learn about what happened, and very few came to pray…

I was there last Friday with family, I saw those shapes and signs, and I, like everyone else took photos.

I don’t see myself generally as a believer in these things, I’m not that religious anyway, they can be totally true, and everything that was said is right, and it all happened, but for me if I put some reason into it, I still have my doubts.

I outspoken to mother at the time, I said, are these people crazy or what?! Do you really believe all this “habal”!!, she didn’t like what I said, she looked at me with a mixture of furiousity and disappointment, she told me not to talk like that especially being in a holy place like the church and just respect those beliefs, I felt I might have crossed the line there…

I attached the photos along, they told us, depending on how much of a believer one is, he / she could see those sign more accurately, I didn’t see much , so I need to work more on my beliefs I guess J

Try yours!
