Mor Yac'ub M’fasqo (St. Jacob the Persian o r St. Jacob Intercisus) who was a Persian\, lived in the town of Lopoth wi th his parents. The king of the country\, Guharon\, had great appreciation for Yac'ub. On knowing that he was a Christian\, the king tried to dissua de him from following his belief by tempting him with gifts. This caused Y ac'ub to turn away from God. Mor Yac'ub's parents appealed to him through a letter not to give up the true faith\, Christianity. He repented &\; returned to the Christian belief. After the death of King Guharon\, his so n Yazdegerd was informed about his change of heart &\; the new king que stioned Yac'ub about it. He informed the king\, “Our Saviour has promise d a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a s ervice to God” (John 16:2). Your feeling that you respect God is itself a folly. The king was furious listening to him &\; ordered his minister s to decide a punishment for him. This was the verdict\, “He should not be killed all of a sudden. First his fingers\, toes\, then his hands\, leg s &\; hip should be severed. He should be beheaded after being dismembe red thus”. Many believers were grieved to hear this verdict. They prayed \, ”Oh God the mighty\, strengthen him\, this servant of yours to escape from this trial with success.”Yac'ub requested some time for prayer bef ore the callous punishment was implemented. He knelt down turning towards the east &\; prayed\, "Oh God\, please listen to this weak servant. Str engthen me at this moment. Bless me to be a friend &\; comforter to tho se who love you &\; receive persecution in your name.” The executione rs then chopped off his fingers &\; toes. He kept on praying even while enduring severe pain. The tormentors slowly cut off his feet\, then his l ower limbs\, followed by his hands and upper limbs. But St. Jacob was not dismayed instead he boldly exclaimed\, "I will praise God till my last bre ath.” Finally\, he was decapitated by the persecutors. Thus Mor Yac'ub M ’fasqo attained the crown of martyrdom. Faithful Christian believers car ried off his body &\; buried it while reciting Psalm 51.Biography court esy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church' Oh Mor Yac'ub M’fasqo! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. Amen.BL14 504Fixed Feast LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
