DESCRIPTION:January 21st is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Timot
 hy +97AD according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Churc
 h.\n\nMor Timotheos was native of Lystra in Lycaonia. While his father was
  a gentile\, his mother was of Jewish ancestry\, who along with his matern
 al grandmother embraced Christianity\, their faith being commended by St. 
 Paul (2 Timothy 1:5). The Christian citizens praised the merits of Timothy
  when Paul visited them. The life of St. Timothy is intimately linked to t
 he mission of St. Paul. St. Paul had Timothy circumcised to prepare him fo
 r the ministry among Jews. He then took Timothy with him\, in order to aid
  him in propagating the doctrine of our Lord. Timothy assisted Paul throug
 h the whole course of his preaching. St. Paul calls him not only his dearl
 y beloved son\, but also his brother\, the companion of his labors\, & a m
 an of God. Timothy accompanied St. Paul from Lystra & sailed to Macedonia\
 , preaching at Philippi\, Thessalonica & Berea. Paul had to leave Berea\, 
 but Timothy remained there along with Silas to administer the new converts
 . \n\nTimothy was sent by St. Paul to Thessalonica\, where persecution had
  left the believers distraught. He would then go to Corinth to report what
  transpired & the condition of the faithful there\; prompting Paul to writ
 e his 1st epistle to the Thessalonians. Timothy accompanied Paul on his vi
 sits to Jerusalem followed by Ephesus where they spent 2 years. Paul then 
 delegated Timotheos to Macedonia to prepare the faithful for his return to
  Greece. Afterwards\, Timothy was directed to Corinth to propagate the tru
 e faith & reinvigorate the believers. Later in his ministry\, Timothy woul
 d be imprisoned & suffered great persecution for his faith. \n\nTimothy wa
 s ordained bishop by St. Paul at Ephesus. St. Timothy is always described 
 as the first bishop of Ephesus in tradition & by Church historians. Paul l
 eft Timothy at Ephesus to govern that Church\, to oppose false teachers & 
 to ordain priests\, deacons\, even bishops. When Paul was imprisoned in Ro
 me & awaiting his execution\, he wrote to Timothy desiring to see his frie
 nd & beloved brother in Christ one final time.\n\nTimothy spoke out agains
 t the idolatrous practices of the Katagogia festival in honour of pagan de
 ity Diana. While preaching the Gospel\, the heathens beat him with clubs\,
  dragged him through the streets & finally stoned him to death. Thus Mor T
 imotheos attained the crown of martyrdom. His body was taken by the faithf
 ul & entombed in a nearby mountain top. In the 4th century his holy relics
  were transferred to the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. \n
