The miracles of nature in Expositio of Perdicas Ephesius
Abstract
Perdicas of Ephesus lived probably in XIVth century in Constantinople. He was cleric and prothonotary of
Ephesus. Perdicas visited Jerusalem, Bethany, Bethpage and Bethlehem. He as writer and pilgrim described in
his poem, which consists of 259 verses, the miraculous events and places connected principally with Jesus’s
and his mother’s history. A poem written by Perdicas indicates the great role of nature: sky, clouds, light, rocks,
stones, water and plants, which glorify their Creator and serve Him in miraculous places of the Holy Land,
occupied by Saracens.
