Also known as Mor Akhsnoyo\, Xenaya was born in Tahal\, Pers ia. He studied in Edessa followed by Tel'ada Antioch\, later joining the Q artmin Monastery (aka Dayro d-Mor Gabriel) &\; entering priesthood. St. Philoxenus was consecrated bishop of Mabbug (Hierapolis) by HH Patriarch Peter II (Peter the Fuller). This was during a time of great turbulence in Christianity\, hardly 30 years had passed since the infamous Council of C halcedon. Philoxenus was a vehement champion of the Orthodox Miaphysite th eology. In AD512 St. Severius the Great Patriarch of Antioch replaced the Chalcedonian Flavius II. Mor Philoxenus became his trusted spokesperson. H e was a renowned scholar\, among the most learned theologians. He wrote se veral letters on ascetic life\, the perfect Christian life\, the Holy Trin ity &\; the incarnation\, in addition to three texts of Holy Qurbono\, &\; prayers for different hours. Mor Philoxenus also commissioned Cor-E piscopo Polycarp to produce what is known as the 'Philoxenian Bible' in Sy riac which was used in the Miaphysite churches till about the 7th century when it was superceded by the Syriac Peshito (which already existed in the complete form since the 5th century). Regarding the incarnation\, Mor Phi loxenus wrote espousing the Miaphysite theology: “The very personality o f God the word descended from heaven &\; became man in the womb of the Virgin\, personally without conversion. Thus\, He became a man who could b e seen\, felt\, handled\, &\; yet as God He continued to possess the sp iritual\, invisible\, &\; impalpable character essential to Deity. Neit her the deity nor the humanity was absorbed one by the other\, nor convert ed one into the other. Nor again by a combination of the two natures was a third evolved as by chemical transformation” Sadly\, following the deat h of the faithful Orthodox Emperor Anastasius\, Justin I became ruler. He adhered to the Chalcedonian faith\, &\; began a great wave of persecuti on on the Orthodox Miaphysites. Justin I exiled both St. Severius &\; S t. Philoxenus. While in exile Mor Akhsnoyo was murdered by suffocation of smoke. Thus on December 10th 523AD\, he attained the crown of martyrdom. M or Philoxenus of Mabbug is commemorated every Sunday in the Thubden d-Qadi she (5th Thubden/Dypthic) of the Syriac Orthodox Church Holy Qurbono.
