DESCRIPTION:November 24th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Greg
 ory of Nazianzus +390 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac O
 rthodox Church.\n\nMor Gregorios was born in Arianzus near Cappadocia town
 . He is also referred to as "Gregory the Theologian" He was baptized by hi
 s own father in AD 360. He received Christian education & training from hi
 s mother from childhood. He was ordained a priest by his father in AD 362 
 & started rendering help to his father. In AD 372 Gregory was consecrated 
 the Bishop of Sasima\, a small town by Mor Baselios. He disliked the lack 
 of independence imposed by administrative responsibilities. Moreover he pr
 eferred a solitary life which reduced his interest in being elevated to th
 e rank of a bishop.\n\nHe spent a few years combating Arianism. The five s
 peeches delivered by him in the church of Anastasia countering the heresy 
 & defending the doctrine of the Trinity are famous. “The Father is the b
 egetter & emitter\, the Son is the begotten & the Holy Spirit is the emiss
 ion. The begetting of the Son & the Procession of the Spirit are beyond ti
 me\, so all three are co-eternal. While the Father may be greater than the
  Son in the sense that he is the cause\, he is not greater by nature\, for
  the two are of the same nature. The names\, Father & the Son make known t
 o us an intimate relation within the Godhead”\n\nHe spoke thus of the pr
 eparation of priests when he was a young priest: “We must begin by purif
 ying ourselves before purifying others\; we must be instructed to be able 
 to instruct\, become light to illuminate\, draw close to God to bring Him 
 close to others\, be sanctified to sanctify\, lead by the hand & counsel p
 rudently. I know whose ministers we are\, where we find ourselves and to w
 here we strive. I know God’s greatness & man’s weakness\, but also his
  potential. Who then is the priest? He is the defender of truth\, who stan
 ds with angels\, gives glory with archangels\, causes sacrifices to rise t
 o the altar on high\, shares Christ’s priesthood\, refashions creation\,
  restores it in God’s image\, recreates it for the world on high"\n\nDue
  to the strong protest of the Arian mob & to avoid dissidence he resigned 
 his position in AD 381 & retired to his native place\, Arianzus. He spent 
 his time in prayer & fasting until he fell asleep in the Lord. \n\nBiograp
