DESCRIPTION:August 2nd is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Ahudeme
 h +575 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Church.
  \n\nMor Ahudemeh was born to in Balad\, Iran to a Nestorian family. He re
 ceived theological education under Nestorian teachers & subsequently becam
 e a Nestorian bishop. However\, he left the heresy of Nestorianism & embra
 ced the Orthodox (Miaphysite) True faith. He preached to the nomadic Arab 
 tribes of Beth Arabaye province of the Persian Empire\, & countless ethnic
  Arabs accepted the Orthodox faith. He built a Monastery dedicated to Mor 
 Sergius so the Arabs did not have to go to the Byzantine Empire to pray\, 
 but it was sadly destroyed by the Nestorians. \n\nThe Miaphysites came und
 er fierce persecution within the Byzantine Empire after they rejected the 
 Council of Chalcedon. Many miaphysites took refuge in the Persian Empire. 
 However\, the Persian Sassanid Shah did not welcome them. He believed the 
 Miaphysites to be spies who were loyal to Byzantine\, as their spiritual l
 eader (Patriarch of Antioch and all the East) was residing within Byzantin
 e territory. The Nestorians also spread lies to deceive the Shah into beli
 eving that Orthodox could not be trusted. So the Orthodox faithful were pe
 rsecuted simultaneously in Byzantine & in Persia. \n\nShah Khosrau decided
  to hold a debate between the Orthodox & the Nestorians at his court to se
 e which faith was superior. The Nestorians were represented by their leade
 r Catholicos-Patriarch Mar Joseph who was also the physician of Shah Khosr
 au. The Orthodox were represented by Mor Ahudemeh. At the end of the debat
 e\, the Shah realized that the Orthodox faith was superior & therefore gra
 nted the Orthodox freedom to worship & build churches\, monasteries etc. \
 n\nMor Yac'ub Burd'ono seeing the greatness of Mor Ahudemeh\, consecrated 
 him Metropolitan of the East to protect\, shepherd & promote the Syriac Or
 thodox Church in the territories of the Persian Sassanid Empire. He was co
 unted as the first Metropolitan of the See of the East after it had been u
 surped by the Nestorians. With greater authority\, Mor Ahudemeh began stre
 ngthening the Orthodox Church\, rebuilding monasteries\, evangelizing etc.
  \n\nThe son of Shah Khosrau was baptized to Christianity by Mor Ahudemeh 
 who sent him to Byzantine for safety\, which angered the emperor. The Shah
  imprisoned Mor Ahudemeh. The Syriac Orthodox Arab tribes who were convert
 ed by the missions of Mor Ahudemeh offered 3 times his weight in gold to t
 he emperor for Mor Ahudemeh's freedom. However\, Mor Ahudemeh declined\, d
 eciding to remain in prison & was later executed. Thus he attained the cro
 wn of martyrdom. His mortal remains were interred in Qronta\, opposite Tik
 rit. \n\nMor Ahudemeh was also a philosopher\, theologian & scholar known 
 for his great intelligence. He was a staunch supporter of Orthodoxy even t
 ill his death. \n\nOh Mor Ahudemeh! Plead for us before God's throne of gr
 ace. Amen.\n\nBiography adapted from\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of t
 he Syriac Orthodox Church'
