Butlana and Mary +305 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260220 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260221 UID:124205889326 DESCRIPTION:In hagiography: Buṭlāna was a doctor and a martyr. His stor y was a Syriacized version of the life of Pantaleon. Pantaleon (Panṭalē ʾōn) was a doctor and a martyr. He was also known as Butlana\, Butlan\, and Batala. He converted to Christianity and cured many people. He was mar tyred under Diocletian\n.In hagiography: Mary was the sister of Panteleon (Batala)\n\nHistory: The Patriarch Ignatius John XIV bar Shay Allah set ou t to restore a Syriac Orthodox church in the town of Nisibis\, which had o nly three or four Syriac Orthodox households and was largely populated by Nestorians\, adherents of a rival church known as the Church of the East. He initially excavated the Church of Mor Jacob with the intention of rebui lding it\, but abandoned this effort\, and rejected a suggestion to restor e the Church of Mor Dimet in the outskirts of Nisibis\, as it was too far from the centre. John was shown where the Church of Mor Batlo once stood i n the town\, and\, satisfied by its location\, had it excavated.Under Isla mic rule\, Christians were permitted to only rebuild churches\, not build new ones\, and thus John\, having excavated the ruins of the church\, gain ed official permission from the qadis and faqihs (Islamic jurists) to rebu ild the church.\n\nThe Nestorians sent a delegation to the Emir of Mardin to protest the reconstruction of the Church of Mor Batlo and claimed there had not be a church there in the past\, thus breaking Islamic law\, and J ohn was summoned to defend himself. John travelled from Nisibis to Mardin to answer the summons and\, with the evidence of the foundations of the or iginal church and the official permission of the qadis and faqihs of Nisib is\, the allegations were dismissed and he returned to Nisibis. The Church of Mor Batlo was completed and rededicated as the Church of Mor Batlo and Yoldath Aloho following John's return. John cooperated with Baselius Aziz and the two stayed at the church prior to its consecration. Whilst at the church\, John received an apparition of Mor Batlo in a dream who indicate d the location of his remains and\, in the following morning\, John and Ba selius Aziz dug at the indicated place and discovered the remains of Mor B atlo. John had a chapel built on the location and connected it to the chur ch. He also appointed a bishop of Nisibis to minister to the Syriac Orthod ox population of the town. John's efforts in Nisibis were largely symbolic and were seen as the reclamation of their heritage. This is because the t own of Nisibis was the diocese of Jacob of Nisibis\, a highly venerated sa int in the Syriac Orthodox Church\, and thus to appoint a Syriac Orthodox bishop was to reclaim the town from the Nestorians.\n\nCommemorated annual ly on the first Saturday of Great Lent\nRSoH LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
