DESCRIPTION:August 28th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Moses 
 the Abbyssinian +405 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Or
 thodox Church. \n\nMor Mushe Kushoyo (Musa al-Habashi) or as he is known i
 n the Coptic Church\, abba Moses the Strong\, was an ethnic Ethiopian who 
 lived in Egypt. He was physically a towering figure. Once a slave of an Eg
 yptian official\, after committing murder he was thrown out. Moses later j
 oined a band of robbers\, becoming their leader due to his sheer physicali
 ty & frightening demeanor. He is known to have taken revenge on individual
 s for minor things such as disturbing his sleep\, going as far as swimming
  across the Nile River to slaughter the herd of someone's who's dog spoile
 d one of their robbery plans. \n\nHe lived a dreadfully sinful life. On th
 e run from authorities\, he took shelter amongst monks in the desert of Wa
 di El Natrun\, where he was was so influenced by them that he sought to re
 linquish his evil past. By the great mercy of God\, Moses repented & decid
 ed to live a solitary life of prayer & strict fasting. However\, he still 
 wrestled with his passions on a daily basis. He sought the advice of the e
 lderly monk abba Isidore\, who told him to fast regularly & to remain hung
 ry so as to never give in to any form of profligacy. For six years St. Mos
 es kept to himself in a solitary cell\, every night after praying going to
  fill the water jugs of the sleeping monks around him\, then returning to 
 prayer\, so as to keep his mind occupied from evil thoughts. \n\nOnce a ba
 nd of thieves attacked him in his cell\, he tied them up & carried them on
  his shoulders to the Church saying it was unchristian to harm them\, they
  repented & joined a monastery. The bishop wanted to test Moses\, so after
  ordaining him a deacon he declared\, "look now abba Moses is fully white!
 " later recanting & abusing Moses as an unworthy Ethiopian not fit for the
  Altar. Moses replied\, "only outwardly am I white with these vestments\, 
 God knows I'm still dark within" & he left the Altar without succumbing to
  anger. Upon seeing this humility & piousness the bishop ordained him a pr
 iest. \n\nWhen he was 75\, Moses learnt that the Monastery would be attack
 ed by Berbers\, & he told his fellow monks to leave\, they asked him to es
 cape as well but he replied\, “For many years now\, I have awaited the t
 ime when the words of my Master\, the Lord Jesus Christ\, should be fulfil
 led: ‘All who take up the sword\, shall perish by the sword." The bandit
 s came & killed all the remaining monks. Thus\, St. Moses the Abbyssinian 
 attained the crown of martyrdom. He was entombed in the Paromeos (Baramos)
  Monastery. There is a Syriac monastery called Dayro d-Mor Mushe Kushoyo d
 edicated in his honour in Syria\, it is now administered by the Syrian Cat
 holics. \n\nOh Mor Mushe Kushoyo! Plead for us before God's throne of grac
 e. Amen. \n\nBiography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the
