Miracles of Mary Story Origins
By PEMM Staff
PEMM was launched to collect information about the origin of the Ethiopian Miracles of Mary stories.
What is the origin of each Ethiopian Marian miracle tale? Which are indigenous and which are foreign (i.e., told first in Europe or the Middle East)? Do foreign Marian miracle stories fade in popularity over time (i.e., told more often in the 1400s and less often by the 1900s)? Are they more popular in some Ethiopian regions than others? Do foreign and indigenous stories vary by theme (e.g., more foreign stories are about knights)? Do foreign and indigenous stories vary by placement (e.g., foreign stories tend to appear at the beginning of manuscripts)?
