The commemoration of the dhukrono of St. Severus of Antioch +538 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Church. St. Severus the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch is known by the epithet togho dsuryo ye "crown of the Syrians".Born at Sozopolis in the province of Pisidia aro und AD 459. According to one tradition his grandfather was one of the bish ops who attended the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus (431). His grandfather\ , whose name was also Severus\, saw in a vision someone telling him\, "The child who is for your son will strengthen Orthodoxy\, &\; his name wil l be after your name." In Alexandria\, he studied grammar and rhetorics i n both Greek and Latin. He studied jurisprudence and philosophy at the Rom an school in Beirut. In 488\, he was baptized in Tripoli. He chose the way of asceticism and became a monk at the Monastery of St. Romanus in Mayoma \, Palestine. After his priestly ordination\, he built a monastery and res ided in it 24 years worshipping God\, practicing the virtues of asceticism \, studying the Holy Bible and the writings of theologians and composing v olumes in defense of the Orthodox faith. He became well known and journeye d to Constantinople with 200 monks in 508 to defend the faith. He stayed t here around 3 years\, until 511. After the removal of Flavianus II\, Patri arch of Antioch\, Mor Severus was canonically elected to succeed him on th e Apostolic see of Antioch. He was enthroned on November 6\, 512.  Durin g his reign he never deviated from the path of his asceticism and abstinen ce. He removed luxurious living from the patriarchal palace\, while devoti ng his energy to reform and the dispensation of church affairs by visiting the neighboring dioceses &\; monasteries in person or by letter. When Justin I\, the Chalcedonian\, succeeded Anastasius in 518\, he called upon him &\; gave him great honors to persuade him to change his stand and to follow the Emperor's belief\, but the Saint refused. The Emperor became angry\, &\; ordered him to be killed. St. Theodora\, the wife of Just inian (nephew of Justin I) who was Syriac Orthodox in faith\, knowing what the Emperor intended to do\, told St. Severus to flee. So Justin banishe d a group of Orthodox bishops\, antagonizing Severus who left for Egypt. M or Severus was forced to leave Antioch on September 25\, and he arrived in the coastal city of Seleucia. From there\, he moved to Egypt on September 29\, 518.In the absence of its shepherd\, Antioch suffered many harsh per secutions\; the Chalcedonians seized the opportunity of the exile of Mor S everus and installed illegal patriarchs\, starting thus the line of succes sion of the Chalcedonian Patriarchs.Our saintly Patriarch continued to adm inister the Church of Antioch from his exile in Egypt for a period of 20 y ears. He encouraged the believers to remain faithful to the Orthodox faith and wrote letters encouraging them to endure the persecutions. He travell ed everywhere &\; visited monasteries disguised as a monk. He strengthe ned the faith of the believers in the Orthodox doctrine. God performed thr ough him many miracles. During this period\, at the invitation and insiste nce of the Emperor Justinian\, St. Severus attended a meeting for unificat ion in Constantinople in 535\; he remained there for a year and a half. Wh en he felt that the meeting was a waste of time\, he returned to Egypt wit h the help of Justinian’s wife\, the Syriac Empress Theodora. He died th ere on February 8\, 538.Otto Meinardus writes\, "The Coptic Synaxarion com memorates the translation of the relics of Saint Severus from Sakha to the Monastery of al-Zugag (the Ennaton)\, west of Alexandria [on 10 Kiahk]. S ome of the relics of Saint Severus were kept in the tenth-century feretory of the Monastery of the Syrians in Wadi al-Natrun. They are now preserved there in a bolster together with other relics." Other portions of his rel ics were kept at St. Mina Monastery\, and were brought to Lebanon in 2018. The Syrian Orthodox Church in its 5th Diptych remembers St. Severus as the crown of Syrians\, the eloquent mouth\, the pillar &\; the doctor of t he Holy Church of God as a whole\, the meadow abounding in blossom who pre ached all the time that Mary was undoubtedly the God-bearer.
