DESCRIPTION:February 9th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Ahude
 meh +575 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Churc
 h. \n\nMor Ahudemeh was born to in Balad\, Iran to a Nestorian family. He 
 received theological education under Nestorian teachers & subsequently bec
 ame a Nestorian bishop. However\, he left the heresy of Nestorianism & emb
 raced the Orthodox (Miaphysite) True faith. He preached to the nomadic Ara
 b tribes of Beth Arabaye province of the Persian Empire\, & countless ethn
 ic Arabs accepted the Orthodox faith. He built a Monastery dedicated to Mo
 r 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 u
 nder fierce persecution within the Byzantine Empire after they rejected th
 e Council of Chalcedon. Many miaphysites took refuge in the Persian Empire
 . However\, the Persian Sassanid Shah did not welcome them. He believed th
 e Miaphysites to be spies who were loyal to Byzantine\, as their spiritual
  leader (Patriarch of Antioch and all the East) was residing within Byzant
 ine territory. The Nestorians also spread lies to deceive the Shah into be
 lieving that Orthodox could not be trusted. So the Orthodox faithful were 
 persecuted simultaneously in Byzantine & in Persia. \n\nShah Khosrau decid
 ed to hold a debate between the Orthodox & the Nestorians at his court to 
 see which faith was superior. The Nestorians were represented by their lea
 der Catholicos-Patriarch Mar Joseph who was also the physician of Shah Kho
 srau. The Orthodox were represented by Mor Ahudemeh. At the end of the deb
 ate\, the Shah realized that the Orthodox faith was superior & therefore g
 ranted the Orthodox freedom to worship & build churches\, monasteries etc.
  \n\nMor Yac'ub Burd'ono seeing the greatness of Mor Ahudemeh\, consecrate
 d him Metropolitan of the East to protect\, shepherd & promote the Syriac 
 Orthodox Church in the territories of the Persian Sassanid Empire. He was 
 counted as the first Metropolitan of the See of the East after it had been
  usurped by the Nestorians. With greater authority\, Mor Ahudemeh began st
 rengthening the Orthodox Church\, rebuilding monasteries\, evangelizing et
 c. \n\nThe son of Shah Khosrau was baptized to Christianity by Mor Ahudeme
 h who sent him to Byzantine for safety\, which angered the emperor. The Sh
 ah imprisoned Mor Ahudemeh. The Syriac Orthodox Arab tribes who were conve
 rted by the missions of Mor Ahudemeh offered 3 times his weight in gold to
  the emperor for Mor Ahudemeh's freedom. However\, Mor Ahudemeh declined\,
  deciding to remain in prison & was later executed. Thus he attained the c
 rown of martyrdom. His mortal remains were interred in Qronta\, opposite T
 ikrit. \n\nMor Ahudemeh was also a philosopher\, theologian & scholar know
 n for his great intelligence. He was a staunch supporter of Orthodoxy even
  till his death. \n\nOh Mor Ahudemeh! Plead for us before God's throne of 
 grace. Amen.\n\nBiography adapted from\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of
