DESCRIPTION:April 25th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Mark th
 e Evangelist +68 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthod
 ox Church.\n\nMor Marqos sabrono was born in Cyrene (Pentapolis)\, Africa 
 to a family of the Levite tribe\, & given the name John. When their home w
 as attacked by barbarians\, the family moved to Jerusalem. Several importa
 nt events took place in the home of St. Mark in Jerusalem\, including: the
  Last Supper & institution of the first Holy Qurbono by our Lord Jesus Chr
 ist along with the washing of Apostles feet (John 13:12)\; the Pentecost (
 Acts 2:1-4)\; the election of Apostle Mathias (Acts 1:21-26)\; the Council
  of the Apostles in 51AD presided over by St. James the just\, the brother
  of Jesus & the first Archbishop of Jerusalem\; & St. Peter came to this h
 ouse upon release from prison by an angel. A 6th century Syriac inscriptio
 n discovered from the site of the house of Mary reads as follows: “This 
 is the house of Mary\, mother of John\, called Mark. After the ascension o
 f our Lord\, Jesus Christ\, into heaven\, the holy apostles proclaimed thi
 s church in the name of Virgin Mary\, Mother of God. Renewed after the des
 truction of Jerusalem by Titus in the year 73AD.” Along with the church\
 , there is St. Mark's Monastery (Dayro d-Mor Marqos) which is the seat of 
 the Syriac Orthodox Archbishop of Jerusalem\, Holy Land & Jordan. \n\nSt. 
 Mark was one amongst the 72 Evangelists of the Lord & mentioned a few othe
 r times in the Gospels. He was a relative of St. Barnabas & was very dear 
 to St. Peter the chief of the Holy Apostles\, who converted St. Mark. The 
 Gospel of Mark was written by St. Mark\, but recounts St. Peter's depictio
 n of our Lord Jesus' mission.This is acknowledged by the Church father Ire
 naeus who writes\, "Mark\, Peter's disciple & interpreter\, had also passe
 d on to us in written materials as preached by Peter." Peter ordained Mark
  bishop of Alexandria in around 61AD. \n\nAccording to Syriac tradition\, 
 while travelling in Alexandria\, Mark met a cobbler by name Anianus. His f
 inger was punctured by a needle & he was in pain. Mark made clay & anointe
 d his finger. Anianus was healed immediately. Anianus took Mark to his hom
 e where he preached about Jesus Christ. Numerous people believed in Jesus 
 & were baptized. In 64AD\, Mark ordained three Priests & seven deacons. St
 . Anianus was appointed as the successor of Mark. St Mark also founded the
  first theological school in Alexandria to train people who would become l
 eaders in the faith. Mark left for Rome where he spent time with St. Peter
  & St. Paul until their martyrdoms.\n\nMark soon returned to Alexandria. I
 t so happened that Easter was on the same day as the festival of the pagan
  deity Serapis. The heathens were angered by the Christians celebrating th
 e Feast of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus. They seized Mark\, tied him
  to a horse & made it run until he was brutally disfigured. They then impr
 isoned him\, followed by another day of torture leading to his death. Thus
  Mor Marqos sabrono attained the crown of martyrdom. The heathens tried to
  burn his body\, but a sudden storm extinguished the fire & the heathens r
 an away in fear. Finally\, the body of St. Mark was entombed in a church d
 edicated to his honor in Alexandria. The successors of St. Mark are known 
 as Pope of Alexandria & Patriarch of All Africa on the Holy Apostolic See 
 of Saint Mark the Evangelist of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria.

 of Antioch on St. Mark the Evangelist:\n\n"He shall manage His words with 
 judgment" (Psalms 112:5)\n"The divine Mark\, the true disciple of the grea
 t Peter the chief of the Apostles\, having with readiness proclaimed or pr
 eached to creation day by day the salvation of Christ our God\, and having
  with the great among prophets David the Psalmist made known His glory\, t
 aught the whole of Egypt\, which had become drunk in pursuit of the error 
 of demon-worship\, not only to believe\, but also to proclaim the theology
  with all accuracy. Wherefore\, reckoning the commemoration of this man to
  be our crown\, we beseech thee\, Christ\, through his intercession delive
 r the souls or us all\, according to the abundance of Thy great mercy."\n\
 n\nOh Mor Marqos sabrono! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. Amen.
