DESCRIPTION:On MASOCNA Calendar \n\nMay 11th is the commemoration of the d
 ukhrono of St. Timothy +97AD according to the Liturgical Calendar of the S
 yriac Orthodox Church.\n\nMor Timotheos was native of Lystra in Lycaonia. 
 While his father was a gentile\, his mother was of Jewish ancestry\, who a
 long with his maternal grandmother embraced Christianity\, their faith bei
 ng commended by St. Paul (2 Timothy 1:5). The Christian citizens praised t
 he merits of Timothy when Paul visited them. The life of St. Timothy is in
 timately linked to the mission of St. Paul. St. Paul had Timothy circumcis
 ed to prepare him for the ministry among Jews. He then took Timothy with h
 im\, in order to aid him in propagating the doctrine of our Lord. Timothy 
 assisted Paul through the whole course of his preaching. St. Paul calls hi
 m not only his dearly beloved son\, but also his brother\, the companion o
 f his labors\, & a man of God. Timothy accompanied St. Paul from Lystra & 
 sailed to Macedonia\, preaching at Philippi\, Thessalonica & Berea. Paul h
 ad to leave Berea\, but Timothy remained there along with Silas to adminis
 ter the new converts. \n\nTimothy was sent by St. Paul to Thessalonica\, w
 here persecution had left the believers distraught. He would then go to Co
 rinth to report what transpired & the condition of the faithful there\; pr
 ompting Paul to write his 1st epistle to the Thessalonians. Timothy accomp
 anied Paul on his visits to Jerusalem followed by Ephesus where they spent
  2 years. Paul then delegated Timotheos to Macedonia to prepare the faithf
 ul for his return to Greece. Afterwards\, Timothy was directed to Corinth 
 to propagate the true faith & reinvigorate the believers. Later in his min
 istry\, Timothy would be imprisoned & suffered great persecution for his f
 aith. \n\nTimothy was ordained bishop by St. Paul at Ephesus. St. Timothy 
 is always described as the first bishop of Ephesus in tradition & by Churc
 h historians. Paul left Timothy at Ephesus to govern that Church\, to oppo
 se false teachers & to ordain priests\, deacons\, even bishops. When Paul 
 was imprisoned in Rome & awaiting his execution\, he wrote to Timothy desi
 ring to see his friend & beloved brother in Christ one final time.\n\nTimo
 thy spoke out against the idolatrous practices of the Katagogia festival i
 n honour of pagan deity Diana. While preaching the Gospel\, the heathens b
 eat him with clubs\, dragged him through the streets & finally stoned him 
 to death. Thus Mor Timotheos attained the crown of martyrdom. His body was
  taken by the faithful & entombed in a nearby mountain top. In the 4th cen
 tury his holy relics were transferred to the Church of the Holy Apostles i
 n Constantinople. \n\nBiography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelat

  before God's throne of grace. Amen.
