DESCRIPTION:June 2nd is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Ahudemeh 
 +575 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Church. \
 n\nMor Ahudemeh was born to in Balad\, Iran to a Nestorian family. He rece
 ived theological education under Nestorian teachers & subsequently became 
 a Nestorian bishop. However\, he left the heresy of Nestorianism & embrace
 d the Orthodox (Miaphysite) True faith. He preached to the nomadic Arab tr
 ibes of Beth Arabaye province of the Persian Empire\, & countless ethnic A
 rabs accepted the Orthodox faith. He built a Monastery dedicated to Mor Se
 rgius so the Arabs did not have to go to the Byzantine Empire to pray\, bu
 t it was sadly destroyed by the Nestorians. \n\nThe Miaphysites came under
  fierce persecution within the Byzantine Empire after they rejected the Co
 uncil of Chalcedon. Many miaphysites took refuge in the Persian Empire. Ho
 wever\, the Persian Sassanid Shah did not welcome them. He believed the Mi
 aphysites to be spies who were loyal to Byzantine\, as their spiritual lea
 der (Patriarch of Antioch and all the East) was residing within Byzantine 
 territory. The Nestorians also spread lies to deceive the Shah into believ
 ing that Orthodox could not be trusted. So the Orthodox faithful were pers
 ecuted simultaneously in Byzantine & in Persia. \n\nShah Khosrau decided t
 o hold a debate between the Orthodox & the Nestorians at his court to see 
 which faith was superior. The Nestorians were represented by their leader 
 Catholicos-Patriarch Mar Joseph who was also the physician of Shah Khosrau
 . The Orthodox were represented by Mor Ahudemeh. At the end of the debate\
 , the Shah realized that the Orthodox faith was superior & therefore grant
 ed the Orthodox freedom to worship & build churches\, monasteries etc. \n\
 nMor Yac'ub Burd'ono seeing the greatness of Mor Ahudemeh\, consecrated hi
 m Metropolitan of the East to protect\, shepherd & promote the Syriac Orth
 odox Church in the territories of the Persian Sassanid Empire. He was coun
 ted as the first Metropolitan of the See of the East after it had been usu
 rped by the Nestorians. With greater authority\, Mor Ahudemeh began streng
 thening the Orthodox Church\, rebuilding monasteries\, evangelizing etc. \
 n\nThe son of Shah Khosrau was baptized to Christianity by Mor Ahudemeh wh
 o sent him to Byzantine for safety\, which angered the emperor. The Shah i
 mprisoned Mor Ahudemeh. The Syriac Orthodox Arab tribes who were converted
  by the missions of Mor Ahudemeh offered 3 times his weight in gold to the
  emperor for Mor Ahudemeh's freedom. However\, Mor Ahudemeh declined\, dec
 iding to remain in prison & was later executed. Thus he attained the crown
  of martyrdom. His mortal remains were interred in Qronta\, opposite Tikri
 t. \n\nMor Ahudemeh was also a philosopher\, theologian & scholar known fo
 r his great intelligence. He was a staunch supporter of Orthodoxy even til
 l his death. \n\nOh Mor Ahudemeh! Plead for us before God's throne of grac
 e. Amen.\n\nBiography adapted from\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the
