His father was a paga n priest & mother was a Christian. He learned Greek & Syriac\, got married in his youth & led a family life. \n\nOnce while listening to an evangeli cal talk in Mor Abraham Dayaro in Kenneshrin he felt a desire to listen to & study the word of God. Later he learned theology from Mor Eusebius of S mishath & Aakkak Episcopo of Aleppo. When he returned to Kennishrin he liv ed away from his family making his wife & children lead an ascetic life. H e freed his slaves & shared his riches with the poor\, later joining Mor A braham Dayro.\n\nSt. Raboula was ordained a priest in AD 388 & in AD 411 a fter the death of Bishop Diogenes of Urhoy (Edessa)\, Raboula was ordained as the successor by the Patriarch of Antioch. He was a close friend of St . Cyril of Alexandria. Mor Raboula was vehemently opposed to Nestorianism. With fierce determination he combatted the growing rise of heresy in his diocese & elsewhere\, even traveling to Constantinople to preach the true faith & denounce Nestorian ideology in front of Patriarch Theodosius (who was leaning towards Nestorianism). \n\nHis literary legacy comprises of ru les for the ascetics\, rules for the children of the covenant\, rules abou t services in the Church\, a few madraso\, sugeetho & bovootho. He is a we ll known for abolishing the use of the Syriac Diatessaron (harmonized comb ination of the Gospels) ordering instead that the Syriac translations of t he 4 canonical Gospels be made available in every church. \n\nIt was custo mary for Raboula to stay at Mor Abraham Dayaro every year fasting & medita ting for spiritual rejuvenation. \n\nThe writings of St. Rabbula demonstra te that long before the Holy Ecumenical Council of Ephesus 431AD\, the fai thful of Antioch affirmed the Orthodoxy of Miaphysitism\, which is the fai th of the Doctors of the Syriac Church like Sts. Aphrahat\, Ephrem\, and C yrilona. Therefore\, what St. Cyril of Alexandria taught at the Holy Ecume nical Council of Ephesus is the same as what the Orthodox Fathers of the H oly See of Antioch kept and handed down since Apostolic times.\n\nContrary to previous reports\, Mor Rabbula did not take part in the Synod of Ephes us in AD 431 nor in the council held by John of Antioch to condemn St. Cyr il. \n\nHis reign as Bishop of Edessa lasted for 24 years. \n\nBiography c ourtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church' \n\nOh Mor Raboula Urhoyo! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. Ame n.\n\nRSoH LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
