I am curious to know if anyone here is familiar with this?
My mother told me about my great grandmother and how she was supposed to have some sort of ability called “the laying of the hands”. I had never heard of this, but apparently people would come to her to essentially heal them I guess.
When my mother was a child, she had a wart like lesion on her hand that would not respond to treatment and she was taken to my great grandmother and she touched her hand and the lesion resolved.
I was told that it is to be passed down to a person of the opposite sex in order to continue. Apparently my great grandmother intended to pass it to my grandfather before she passed, but she did not. This is the first time I have heard of this. When I hear the literal term “laying of the hands”, I imagine some hokey production in a church where phoney healings take place. But my family isn’t really like that. My mother said that my great grandmother always scared her and that she was very serious.
So what does “the laying of the hands” mean?
