DESCRIPTION:Mort Mariam was the niece of Mor Abraham of Qidun and she live
 d as an ascetic with her uncle in a cave-cell outside the city. In the His
 tory of Abraham of Qidon we read about how Mariam left the ascetic life fo
 r the life of a harlot but returned after two years through her uncle's in
 tervention and his acts of sacrifice. The life story of Mariam is one of t
 he most famous testimonies of repentance among Syriac saints. In some Syri
 ac Orthodox liturgical manuscripts\, a "soogitho" or dialogue poem of St. 
 Mary can be found for the Second Sunday of Great Lent and the Fourth Sunda
 y of Great Lent in the midnight (lilyo) office.\n\nSummary: Late in life M
 or Abraham took charge of the daughter of his recently deceased brother\, 
 a girl of 7 years by the name of Mary. Abraham chooses to raise her as a h
 ermit and teach her the essentials of a hermit’s life. She is allotted a
  cave-cell of her own\, in front of Abraham’s cell\, separated from his 
 cell by a door. Mary followed Abraham’s example in all respects\, but by
  the time she came of age\, her outward beauty attracted the attention of 
 a young man pretending to be a hermit. This imposter seduces Mary to commi
 t sin. After having committed her sin\, she leaves her cell out of shame\,
  unbeknownst to her uncle.\n\nIn a long monologue (see the Sogitho of Mary
 ) she bewails her fate and argues that\, now that she failed so utterly\, 
 she could never expect to find forgiveness and grace anymore\, neither fro
 m her uncle nor from God. Panic and affliction started to rule her and her
  heart weakened\, and she left her cell. In utter despair\, Mary enters a 
 brothel to become a prostitute. Only two days after Mary left him\, Abraha
 m came to realize through a dream that his niece is no longer with him. In
  a nightmare he saw a serpent devouring a dove\, and on awakening\, Abraha
 m acts on this premonition and calls out to Mary\, only to find out that s
 he is no longer in her cell. He then asks the help of an acquaintance to g
 o and find out her whereabouts.\n\nAfter two years her secret place of dwe
 lling is discovered. Abraham in the guise of a soldier\, leaves his cell t
 o go and bring Mary back. He enters the brothel and behaves as a regular b
 rothel customer\, drinking wine and eating meat and asking for the most be
 autiful girl on offer\, so as not to betray his identity to his niece\, wh
 o he is afraid might try to flee from him out of shame. It is this act of 
 breaking his strict rules of abstinence\, which marks the ultimate sacrifi
 ce. In exchange for the spiritual salvation of a lost soul\, he gives away
  in the spur of the moment an entire life time of strictest austerity and 
 self-chastisement. In the seclusion of a private chamber within the brothe
 l\, Abraham makes his identity known to his niece\, who bursts into tears 
 believing that there still is hope for her to be saved from a life of sin.
  Mor Abraham prays with her and reminds her that "God accepts every repent
 ant even if he has many great sins." Finally\, she returns with her uncle 
 to the hermitage\, where Abraham is wise enough to allot the inner cell to
  her this time\, where he himself used to live. Both lead henceforward a l
 ife in strictest austerity.\n\nLife of St. Mary of Qidun and her Sugitho:
