Description:Yusuf tells us about an incident that took place at the local village church, named after St Elijah. Two or three Muslims attempted to rob the church, but they were being miraculously blinded when they were leaving the church and their eyes would miraculously heal when they would return the stolen goods. This is an incident claimed to have been told, by the thieves themselves, to the natives.
