DESCRIPTION:June 18th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Moses th
 e Abbyssinian +405 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orth
 odox Church. \n\nMor Mushe Kushoyo (Musa al-Habashi) or as he is known in 
 the Coptic Church\, abba Moses the Strong\, was an ethnic Ethiopian who li
 ved in Egypt. He was physically a towering figure. Once a slave of an Egyp
 tian official\, after committing murder he was thrown out. Moses later joi
 ned a band of robbers\, becoming their leader due to his sheer physicality
  & frightening demeanor. He is known to have taken revenge on individuals 
 for minor things such as disturbing his sleep\, going as far as swimming a
 cross the Nile River to slaughter the herd of someone's who's dog spoiled 
 one of their robbery plans. \n\nHe lived a dreadfully sinful life. On the 
 run from authorities\, he took shelter amongst monks in the desert of Wadi
  El Natrun\, where he was was so influenced by them that he sought to reli
 nquish his evil past. By the great mercy of God\, Moses repented & decided
  to live a solitary life of prayer & strict fasting. However\, he still wr
 estled with his passions on a daily basis. He sought the advice of the eld
 erly monk abba Isidore\, who told him to fast regularly & to remain hungry
  so as to never give in to any form of profligacy. For six years St. Moses
  kept to himself in a solitary cell\, every night after praying going to f
 ill the water jugs of the sleeping monks around him\, then returning to pr
 ayer\, so as to keep his mind occupied from evil thoughts. \n\nOnce a band
  of thieves attacked him in his cell\, he tied them up & carried them on h
 is shoulders to the Church saying it was unchristian to harm them\, they r
 epented & joined a monastery. The bishop wanted to test Moses\, so after o
 rdaining him a deacon he declared\, "look now abba Moses is fully white!" 
 later recanting & abusing Moses as an unworthy Ethiopian not fit for the A
 ltar. Moses replied\, "only outwardly am I white with these vestments\, Go
 d knows I'm still dark within" & he left the Altar without succumbing to a
 nger. Upon seeing this humility & piousness the bishop ordained him a prie
 st. \n\nWhen he was 75\, Moses learnt that the Monastery would be attacked
  by Berbers\, & he told his fellow monks to leave\, they asked him to esca
 pe as well but he replied\, “For many years now\, I have awaited the tim
 e when the words of my Master\, the Lord Jesus Christ\, should be fulfille
 d: ‘All who take up the sword\, shall perish by the sword." The bandits 
 came & killed all the remaining monks. Thus\, St. Moses the Abbyssinian at
 tained the crown of martyrdom. He was entombed in the Paromeos (Baramos) M
 onastery. There is a Syriac monastery called Dayro d-Mor Mushe Kushoyo ded
 icated in his honour in Syria\, it is now administered by the Syrian Catho
 lics. \n\nOh Mor Mushe Kushoyo! Plead for us before God's throne of grace.
  Amen. \n\nBiography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the S
