DESCRIPTION:August 12th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Azazae
 l +304 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Church.
  \n\nMor Izozoel (Mar Azazael) is a holy saint who loudly professed that a
 ge is not a barrier to be a worthy testimonial for Christ's infinite love.
  It is believed that he was born in Samosata or Phrygia. His father was a 
 very influential figure in the imperial court. After his parents' death\, 
 his uncle took care of him. Even in his heartbreak\, he received the kindn
 ess & warmth of Jesus' love. Perhaps his uncle was a reason for his attrac
 tion to our Lord Jesus. The heart of Izozoel was filled with love & devoti
 on to God. Along with his uncle\, the holy saint began to proclaim the Gos
 pel message of Jesus Christ in the neighboring regions where they were not
 iced by the king. Historical records exist which attest to the arrival of 
 Mor Izozoel & his uncle to Rome. But there are two traditions in this rega
 rd. As per the first belief\, St. Azazael & his uncle came to Rome to proc
 laim the Gospel. The second tradition states that both of them came to Rom
 e as directed by the Emperor. \n\nMor Izozoel was 14 years old when he cam
 e to Rome. The preaching of the saint & his uncle attracted many of the co
 untrymen to the Christian faith\, infuriating the emperor\, who summoned t
 hem to Rome for trial. Emperor Maximian ordered him to abandon the faith. 
 When St. Azazael refused\, he was brutally tortured. But that night\, the 
 Lord healed & comforted him. The emperor was shocked to see the saint rega
 ined his health completely overnight. However the emperor's heart of stone
  did not soften. The Emperor attempted to tempt the saint\, but it was all
  in vain. So he once again chose to torture Izozoel\, but with even more b
 rutality. The saint collapsed frequently. But every time the saint regaine
 d his health with the help of God's grace. Failing repeatedly\, the empero
 r fumed with rage. Finally\, he ordered to kill the saint. St. Azazael was
  viciously murdered at the age of fourteen (or fifteen) in accordance with
  the emperor's decree. Thus Mor Izozoel attained the crown of martyrdom. T
 he faithful buried his relics. A large shrine was built there in AD550\, &
  countless believers flocked there in veneration of the holy saint. The fe
 ast of Mor Izozoel is celebrated in the Syriac Orthodox Church on May 12th
  & August 12th. \n\nIn Western Christianity he is known as St. Pancras. It
  is believed that the King of Northumberland in Great Britain received a p
 ortion of saint's relics & built a church dedicated to the martyr. Additio
 nally\, a number of churches in London & surroundings are in the name of t
 he saint. A well known Railway station in London\, England is named after 
 St. Pancras. \n\nThough young in age\, his love for the Lord & courage dur
 ing persecution until his final martyrdom serves as an exemplary model for
  us all. \n\nBiography courtesy the Malayalam work by Fr. Dr. Greger R. Ko
 llanoor. Translated into English by Miss. Shylin.\n\nhttps://urhotheway.co

 rone of grace. Amen.
