Mor Aday wa s the first Bishop of Edessa (Urhoy/Urfa). He is the twin brother of St. T homas the Apostle. In the Syriac tradition\, St. Aday is one of the 72 Dis ciples our Lord appointed as written in the gospel of St. Luke 10:1. He wa s one of the primary evangelists in the region of Edessa. The story of his evangelization in Edessa is intertwined with that of great King Abgar V o f Edessa. King Abgar V of Edessa fell ill during the reign of Emperor Tibe rius Caesar. According to church historian Eusebius &\; as written in t he Syriac work 'Doctrine of Mor Adai'\, King Abgar sent a letter to our Lo rd Jesus Christ inviting him to live in Edessa away from the persecution o f the Jewish pharisees. This historical fact is also confirmed in the Syri ac Orthodox prayers for Midlent (phelgo d'sawmo/pathinombu). The royal sec retary Hannan delivered this letter by hand to Christ himself. In His repl y\, Christ declines the invitation\, instead saying when His earthly missi on is complete &\; He has ascended to to heaven\, He promises to send o ne of His disciples to Edessa\, who will heal the king &\; evangelize t he whole kingdom so that they may receive eternal life. Hannan returns to Edessa with the letter and a portrait of Christ (first icon of our Lord in history). After the Ascension of our Lord\, Mor Aday is sent to Edessa as earlier promised by Christ to King Abgar. Mor Aday healed King Abgar of h is leprosy &\; baptized him. Thus\, Abgar became the first king to embr ace Christianity &\; the Kingdom of Osroene (with Edessa as its capital ) became the very first Christian nation. St. Aday played a key role in th e evangelization of Mesopotamia\, southern Armenia &\; eastern parts of Syria. Oh Mor Aday! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. May your i ntercession protect the Syriac Christian faithful in Mesopotamia. Amen.BL1 4519 LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
