Church historian Euseb ius of Caesarea writes that St. Ignatius succeeded St. Evodius\, likewise St. John Chrysostom states St. Peter specifically chose St. Ignatius to be his successor. Ignatius is also called Theophorus in Greek which means 'G od-Borne' because of the tradition that he was the child Christ held accor ding to the Gospel of Matthew 18:2-3. Theophorus may also be interpreted a s 'God-Bearer' because of the virtue practiced by Ignatius in witnessing G od as is expected of every true believer. In Syriac he is given the title Noorono or 'Illuminator/fire-bearer'. St. Ignatius wrote 7 letters to root out the heresies which were plaguing the early Church. The letters are ad dressed to Ephesians\, Magnesians\, Trallians\, Romans\, Philadelphians\, Smyrnaeans\, &\; to his friend St. Polycarpos the bishop of Smyrna. He wrote these letters en route from Smyrna to Rome where he was to be execut ed. Some of the most important quotations from his writings against heresi es include the following: He stresses Christ’s true humanity &\; ide ntifies it with the healing food of the Eucharist\, calling the Body of Ch rist "medicine of immortality" Further\, he describes: every time this mys tery is celebrated\, “the work of our redemption is carried on &\; we break the one bread that provides the antidote for death &\; the food that makes us live forever in Jesus Christ.Take note of those who hold het erodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us\, &\; see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain fr om the Eucharist &\; from prayer because they do not confess that the E ucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ\, flesh which suffered fo r our sins &\; which that Father\, in his goodness\, raised up again. T hey who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes."St. Ignatius was ordered to be executed by Roman Emperor Trajan. Bishop Polycarp welco med St. Ignatius on his way to Rome (to be executed) under armed guard. Se veral Syrian Christian delegates from other churches at Smyrna received hi m. At Rome he was thrown into the amphitheater filled with voracious lions to be devoured on October 17th. It is said that only the toughest of his bones remained. Thus Mor Ignatius Noorono attained the crown of martyrdom. His relics were then taken to Antioch &\; venerated by the pious belie vers. Emperor Theodosius II later moved his relics to another church in th e city on December 20th.Biography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prel ates of the Syriac Orthodox Church'Oh Mor Ignatius Noorono!
