DESCRIPTION:November 7th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of HH Mor Mi
 chael the Great +1199 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac O
 rthodox Church.\n\nMor Mikhayel Rabo (ܡܝܟܐܝܠ ܪܒܐ) also known as M
 ichael the Syrian ( ܡܝܟܐܝܠ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ‎) was Patriarch of Antioch
  and all the East from 1166-1199 AD. Michael was born in Melitine\, his fa
 ther was the pious priest Elia of the famous Qandasi family which produced
  many prelates in the Syriac Orthodox Church. Micheal became a monk at a y
 oung age\, resided at the Monastery of Mor Barsawmo\, later becoming a pri
 est & finally the abbot. During his time he improved the conditions of the
  monastery including bringing running water.\n\nThe Patriarch Mor Athanasi
 us VII bar Qutreh passed away & the Holy See became vacant. Subsequently\,
  the Holy Synod unanimously elected Raban Michael to the Patriarchate of t
 he Apostolic See of Antioch. Raban Michael was not willing to accept the e
 xalted position for he considered himself unworthy. However\, Mor Dionysiu
 s Yac'ub Bar Salibi of Amid (+1171) & another member of the Synod persuade
 d him to accept. On 18 October 1166\, Raban Michael was consecrated Patria
 rch of Antioch at the monastery of Mor Barsawmo by the Maphryono Mor Yuhan
 on Sarugh & twelve other bishops. One of the first things he did was shift
  the Patriarchate to the Monastery of Mor Hananyo\, also known as Kurkmo D
 ayro or Deir ez-Za`faran. On the day of his arrival at this Monastery & th
 e celebration of his enthronement on the Patriarchal Seat in the new headq
 uarters\, Metropolitan Mor Dionysius Yac'ub Bar Salibi delivered a fascina
 ting speech that began with "My beloved\, today is the day of joy\; today 
 is the day of delight." In his speech he enumerated the praiseworthy virtu
 es of Patriarch Michael. In 1168\, Patriarch Michael visited the archdioce
 ses of Jerusalem & Damascus. He consecrated the Holy Chrism at Monastery o
 f Mary Magdalene near Damascus Gate. The Holy Land & Antioch were under Cr
 usader control at the time\; Mor Mikhayel established cordial relations wi
 th them to safeguard the Syriac community. Patriarch Michael always remain
 ed firm in the True Orthodox faith. When Byzantine Emperor Manuel I sent a
 n envoy to the Syriac Church to broker a deal to unite the Church with the
  Chalcedonians\, Mor Mikhayel Rabo simply replied with the Orthodox (Miaph
 ysite) statement of faith as professed by all his predecessors. \n\nHe was
  a prolific scholar & historian. He wrote many treatises\, homilies\, & li
 turgical texts which have been incorporated in the Syriac Orthodox rite. H
 e also hand copied many works especially Biblical manuscripts. It was the 
 Syriac Holy Bible written during the time of Mor Mikhayel Rabo & which was
  kept in Malankara\, that was presented to Dr. Buchanan during his visit t
 o the Church in Malabar in 1807. This one is now preserved in the British 
 library. However\, Michael's magnum opus remains the 'Chronicle\,' which i
 s a history from the creation until his time. So great is his work that it
  is even used by modern scientists. His work has been used by NASA scienti
 sts because of his record of climatic changes\, now known to be linked to 
 volcano eruptions. \n\nPatriarch Mor Mikhayel Rabo ordained 1 Maphryono & 
 54 bishops. He departed for the heavenly abode on 7 November 1199. The mor
 tal remains were interred in the new church at the monastery of Mor Barsaw
 mo. He is described as\, “one of the greatest pontiffs of the Church of 
 God\, the finest of the Patriarchs of Antioch\, a scholar\, & famous chron
 icler of everlasting name\, of graceful pursuit\, & of uncommon qualities\
 , of widely known virtues\, & of good deeds.\n\nBiography courtesy of\, 'M
 artyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church' \n\nOh Mor Mik
 hayel Rabo! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. Amen.\n\nhttp://www
