There was a monastery in Jerusalem. It had been a synagogue, but the Jews sold it to the Apostles. It was the first church in Syria. The Virgin, who was living on Mount Zion, ordered it to be built.

The monks were about to abandon the monastery because they had no food. The abbot told them to pray to the Virgin for aid. They prayed and recited hymns and chants all night long.

The next day they found that their granaries were full.

Later, there was another famine and they thought that they would die. The abbot reminded them of the gift that the Virgin had given them before. They prayed to her again all night long.

In the morning, they found a large pile of gold on the altar.

The abbot asked the treasurer if he had seen anyone enter the church. The treasurer swore he had not. The monks praised the Virgin for the gift.
