He is the twin brother of St. Thomas the Apostle. In the Syriac tradition\, St. Aday is one of the 7 2 Disciples our Lord appointed as written in the gospel of St. Luke 10:1. He was one of the primary evangelists in the region of Edessa. The story o f his evangelization in Edessa is intertwined with that of great King Abga r V of Edessa. \n\nKing Abgar V of Edessa fell ill during the reign of Emp eror Tiberius Caesar. According to church historian Eusebius & as written in the Syriac work 'Doctrine of Mor Adai'\, King Abgar sent a letter to ou r Lord Jesus Christ inviting him to live in Edessa away from the persecuti on of the Jewish pharisees. This historical fact is also confirmed in the Syriac Orthodox prayers for Midlent (phelgo d'sawmo/pathinombu). The royal secretary Hannan delivered this letter by hand to Christ himself. In His reply\, Christ declines the invitation\, instead saying when His earthly m ission is complete & He has ascended to to heaven\, He promises to send on e of His disciples to Edessa\, who will heal the king & evangelize the who le 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 histo ry). \n\nAfter the Ascension of our Lord\, Mor Aday is sent to Edessa as e arlier promised by Christ to King Abgar. Mor Aday healed King Abgar of his leprosy & baptized him. Thus\, Abgar became the first king to embrace Chr istianity & the Kingdom of Osroene (with Edessa as its capital) became the very first Christian nation. \n\nSt. Aday played a key role in the evange lization of Mesopotamia\, southern Armenia & eastern parts of Syria. \n\nO h Mor Aday! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. May your intercessi on protect the Syriac Christian faithful in Mesopotamia. Amen.\n\nParis 14 6 and Vat. LXIX LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
