Church historian Eusebi us of Caesarea writes that St. Ignatius succeeded St. Evodius\, likewise S t. John Chrysostom states St. Peter specifically chose St. Ignatius to be his successor. Ignatius is also called Theophorus in Greek which means 'Go d-Borne' because of the tradition that he was the child Christ held accord ing to the Gospel of Matthew 18:2-3. Theophorus may also be interpreted as 'God-Bearer' because of the virtue practiced by Ignatius in witnessing Go d as is expected of every true believer. In Syriac he is given the title N oorono or 'Illuminator/fire-bearer'. \n\nSt. Ignatius wrote 7 letters to r oot out the heresies which were plaguing the early Church. The letters are addressed to Ephesians\, Magnesians\, Trallians\, Romans\, Philadelphians \, Smyrnaeans\, & to his friend St. Polycarpos the bishop of Smyrna. He wr ote these letters en route from Smyrna to Rome where he was to be executed . Some of the most important quotations from his writings against heresies include the following: \n\nHe stresses Christ’s true humanity & identif ies it with the healing food of the Eucharist\, calling the Body of Christ "medicine of immortality" Further\, he describes: every time this mystery is celebrated\, “the work of our redemption is carried on & we break th e one bread that provides the antidote for death & the food that makes us live forever in Jesus Christ. Take note of those who hold heterodox opinio ns on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us\, & see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist & from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh o f our Savior Jesus Christ\, flesh which suffered for our sins & which that Father\, in his goodness\, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes."\n\nSt. Ignatius was ordered to be execu ted by Roman Emperor Trajan. Bishop Polycarp welcomed St. Ignatius on his way to Rome (to be executed) under armed guard. Several Syrian Christian d elegates from other churches at Smyrna received him. At Rome he was thrown into the amphitheater filled with voracious lions to be devoured on Octob er 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 ta ken to Antioch & venerated by the pious believers. Emperor Theodosius II l ater moved his relics to another church in the city on December 20th.\n\nB iography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthod ox Church'\n\nOh Mor Ignatius Noorono!
