DESCRIPTION:May 20th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Gregorios
  Dodo +609 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Chu
 rch. \n\nMor Dodo was born in Sidos\, a village in Iraq. His parents Simon
  and Helen were wealthy & well known for their strong faith. They were chi
 ldless for a long time. Their faith led them to a monastery in Mt. Tabriz\
 , Iraq. They stayed with the abbot Mor David spending their days & nights 
 in prayers. Dodho was born because of their fervent prayers. Mor David bap
 tized him & then the family returned to their village. \n\nHis parents wis
 hed for him to get married\, but Dodo refused\, saying he wanted to dedica
 te his life for the Lord. He carried the Bible always with him\, read & me
 ditated upon it. After the death of his parents\, he distributed all their
  earnings and wealth among the poor. He followed literally\, what Jesus ha
 d taught. “If you will be perfect\, go and sell all that you have and gi
 ve it to the poor\, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and fo
 llow me” (Matthew 19:21)\n\nDodo went to Mor David’s monastery. He obs
 erved rigorous penance. He desired to serve God leading a virtuous life. O
 n Mount Tabriz\, he lived a solitary life for twelve years. The Abbot saw 
 in a dream that Dodo’s life was in danger and set out in search of him. 
 He was brought back to the monastery severely ill.\n\nAfter regaining his 
 health\, he visited the Holy land. Upon his return he departed to a differ
 ent place\, to a scary valley known as "ܪܓܘܠܐ ܕܓܗܢܐ Hell Valley"
  overlooked by the village of Esfes\, 7 Kilometers South West of the town 
 of Azekh (now Idil\, Turkey). It was called "Hell Valley" because of the d
 epth of the valley and it was an area fill of thieves and outlaws who robb
 ed every person passing through that location. Dodo called upon his uncle 
 and forty hermits and stayed with them. With everyone’s cooperation\, he
  could construct a church there. The village soon became a beautiful place
  to live. \n\nWhen the metropolitan of Tigris passed away in A.D. 589\, th
 e Patriarch Peter III (A.D. 581 – 591) nominated Dodo as his successor. 
 Even though he tried to evade it he had to accept the position and was con
 secrated under the name Mor Gregorius. As a Metropolitan\, he ordained one
  thousand three hundred Priests and one thousand seven hundred Deacons. \n
 \nMor Gregorius Dodo passed away in A.D. 609. His burial service conducted
  at Tigris Cathedral was attended by an enormous crowd of believers and on
 e thousand eight hundred priests. \n\nTwenty years later\, his uncle St. I
 saac saw St. Dodo in a dream telling him to move his remains out of Takrit
  to Turabdin (Turkey) region because soon there won't be any Christian lef
 t in that area. So Mor Isaac\, transferred his relics from Tigristo Thurab
 din in A.D. 629 and it was interred at Basibrin\, Turkey. A church was con
 structed over his tomb.\n\nBiography courtesy\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prel
 ates of the Syriac Orthodox Church' \n\nOh Mor Gregorios Dodo plead for us
  before God's throne of grace! May your intercession bring forth many mira
 cles in our lives. Amen\n\nhttp://www.soc-wus.org/ourchurch/St.%20Dodo.htm
