DESCRIPTION:November 7th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Grego
 ry of Nazianzus +390 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Or
 thodox Church.\n\nMor Gregorios was born in Arianzus near Cappadocia town.
  He is also referred to as "Gregory the Theologian" He was baptized by his
  own father in AD 360. He received Christian education & training from his
  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 t
 he Bishop of Sasima\, a small town by Mor Baselios. He disliked the lack o
 f independence imposed by administrative responsibilities. Moreover he pre
 ferred a solitary life which reduced his interest in being elevated to the
  rank of a bishop.\n\nHe spent a few years combating Arianism. The five sp
 eeches delivered by him in the church of Anastasia countering the heresy &
  defending the doctrine of the Trinity are famous. “The Father is the be
 getter & emitter\, the Son is the begotten & the Holy Spirit is the emissi
 on. The begetting of the Son & the Procession of the Spirit are beyond tim
 e\, 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 to
  us an intimate relation within the Godhead”\n\nHe spoke thus of the pre
 paration of priests when he was a young priest: “We must begin by purify
 ing ourselves before purifying others\; we must be instructed to be able t
 o instruct\, become light to illuminate\, draw close to God to bring Him c
 lose to others\, be sanctified to sanctify\, lead by the hand & counsel pr
 udently. I know whose ministers we are\, where we find ourselves and to wh
 ere 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 stand
 s with angels\, gives glory with archangels\, causes sacrifices to rise to
  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 h
 is position in AD 381 & retired to his native place\, Arianzus. He spent h
 is time in prayer & fasting until he fell asleep in the Lord. \n\nBiograph
