DESCRIPTION:May 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 recei
 ved theological education under Nestorian teachers & subsequently became a
  Nestorian bishop. However\, he left the heresy of Nestorianism & embraced
  the Orthodox (Miaphysite) True faith. He preached to the nomadic Arab tri
 bes of Beth Arabaye province of the Persian Empire\, & countless ethnic Ar
 abs accepted the Orthodox faith. He built a Monastery dedicated to Mor Ser
 gius so the Arabs did not have to go to the Byzantine Empire to pray\, but
  it was sadly destroyed by the Nestorians. \n\nThe Miaphysites came under 
 fierce persecution within the Byzantine Empire after they rejected the Cou
 ncil of Chalcedon. Many miaphysites took refuge in the Persian Empire. How
 ever\, the Persian Sassanid Shah did not welcome them. He believed the Mia
 physites to be spies who were loyal to Byzantine\, as their spiritual lead
 er (Patriarch of Antioch and all the East) was residing within Byzantine t
 erritory. The Nestorians also spread lies to deceive the Shah into believi
 ng that Orthodox could not be trusted. So the Orthodox faithful were perse
 cuted simultaneously in Byzantine & in Persia. \n\nShah Khosrau decided to
  hold a debate between the Orthodox & the Nestorians at his court to see w
 hich faith was superior. The Nestorians were represented by their leader C
 atholicos-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 grante
 d the Orthodox freedom to worship & build churches\, monasteries etc. \n\n
 Mor Yac'ub Burd'ono seeing the greatness of Mor Ahudemeh\, consecrated him
  Metropolitan of the East to protect\, shepherd & promote the Syriac Ortho
 dox Church in the territories of the Persian Sassanid Empire. He was count
 ed as the first Metropolitan of the See of the East after it had been usur
 ped by the Nestorians. With greater authority\, Mor Ahudemeh began strengt
 hening the Orthodox Church\, rebuilding monasteries\, evangelizing etc. \n
 \nThe son of Shah Khosrau was baptized to Christianity by Mor Ahudemeh who
  sent him to Byzantine for safety\, which angered the emperor. The Shah im
 prisoned 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\, deci
 ding to remain in prison & was later executed. Thus he attained the crown 
 of martyrdom. His mortal remains were interred in Qronta\, opposite Tikrit
 . \n\nMor Ahudemeh was also a philosopher\, theologian & scholar known for
  his great intelligence. He was a staunch supporter of Orthodoxy even till
  his death. \n\nOh Mor Ahudemeh! Plead for us before God's throne of grace
 . Amen.\n\nBiography adapted from\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the 
 Syriac Orthodox Church'\n\nRSoH
