Yared's Living Voice

St. Yared is believed to inspire singers with courage and new hymns, as if heavenly inspiration shines through his legacy. Some believe in 2019, a monk at Tana Kirkos Monastery dreamed Yared taught him a Pascha melody; when he sang it, the church filled with peace, drawing pilgrims to listen. Some believe a debtera in Tigray saw Yared by a river, humming Araray to bring peace during a storm, and the rain eased as he sang. These stories reflect Yared’s legacy encouraging singers.

Such inspirations spark faith today. Some believe a girl in Lalibela, practicing for Yared’s feast, felt inspired by Yared’s intercession as her shaky Ezel chant steadied, earning elders’ praise. Some believe Coptic cantors sense shared traditions with Yared’s music when they sing beautifully. For children, these stories show Yared’s legacy lives in every song, inspiring them to worship Christ with hope.
