DESCRIPTION:October 18th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Aday 
 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Church. \n\nMo
 r Aday was the first Bishop of Edessa (Urhoy/Urfa). He is the twin brother
  of St. Thomas the Apostle. In the Syriac tradition\, St. Aday is one of t
 he 72 Disciples our Lord appointed as written in the gospel of St. Luke 10
 :1. He was one of the primary evangelists in the region of Edessa. The sto
 ry of his evangelization in Edessa is intertwined with that of great King 
 Abgar V of Edessa. \n\nKing Abgar V of Edessa fell ill during the reign of
  Emperor Tiberius Caesar. According to church historian Eusebius & as writ
 ten in the Syriac work 'Doctrine of Mor Adai'\, King Abgar sent a letter t
 o our Lord Jesus Christ inviting him to live in Edessa away from the perse
 cution of the Jewish pharisees. This historical fact is also confirmed in 
 the Syriac Orthodox prayers for Midlent (phelgo d'sawmo/pathinombu). The r
 oyal secretary Hannan delivered this letter by hand to Christ himself. In 
 His reply\, Christ declines the invitation\, instead saying when His earth
 ly mission is complete & He has ascended to to heaven\, He promises to sen
 d one of His disciples to Edessa\, who will heal the king & evangelize the
  whole kingdom so that they may receive eternal life. Hannan returns to Ed
 essa with the letter and a portrait of Christ (first icon of our Lord in h
 istory). \n\nAfter the Ascension of our Lord\, Mor Aday is sent to Edessa 
 as earlier promised by Christ to King Abgar. Mor Aday healed King Abgar of
  his leprosy & baptized him. Thus\, Abgar became the first king to embrace
  Christianity & the Kingdom of Osroene (with Edessa as its capital) became
  the very first Christian nation. \n\nSt. Aday played a key role in the ev
 angelization of Mesopotamia\, southern Armenia & eastern parts of Syria. \
 n\nOh Mor Aday! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. May your interc
 ession protect the Syriac Christian faithful in Mesopotamia. Amen.
