Today on the Syriac Orthodox Church Liturgical Calendar we celebrate the "Remembrance of all Women Saints". The Syriac Church gives great importance to women. From the time of our Lord Jesus to today, the contributions of women preaching the Good News of the Heavenly Kingdom are innumerable. Countless female saints gave their life for our Lord & many labored to spread the Gospel throughout the globe. May the intercession of the whole company of saintly women be our refuge! #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian #WednesdayofWomanhood https://www.instagram.com/p/CFfKbEnlSil/?igshid=1waqawfq84199

How do I live my faith today? Is there any relevance to tradition? Is my faith old fashioned? When St. Paul said, 'be not conformed to this world' what exactly did he mean? How do I share my Orthodox faith with friends? These are among many of the burning questions posed by countless Oriental Orthodox faithful today, especially in the diaspora. : If you've had these questions as well, mark your calendars and don't forget to tune in to Urho, The Way on Saturday January 16th at 11am EST (9:30pm IST). Join Rev. Dr. Renjan Mathew in conversation with Rev. Fr. Anthony Mourad as they discuss "Orthodoxy in the Contemporary World." : Fr. Anthony is a priest of our sister Coptic Orthodox Church, and one of the founders of both 'Coptic Orthodox Answers' and the newly launched 'Skopos' initiative. In addition to his parish ministry, Abouna Anthony's efforts extends to engagement with Orthodox youth and inquirers from across the world in dealing with questions of faith and practice while living as 21st century citizens. | | | #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ94THDpFC3/?igshid=zjxfqrm7dnyb

We here at Urho, The Way send our joyful greetings to all our friends and loved ones in the USA who are celebrating Thanksgiving Day! Even though this year's celebrations will be quite different, may it be a day of love, laughter and good memories. All glory and thanksgiving be to God! : Below, a beautiful excerpt from Mor Babowai the Catholicos ♰ 484, in his Letter to Cyriacus: "When your mouth is occupied with nourishment, let your heart be occupied with prayer. While your right hand is looking after your body’s needs at table, let your mind be given to praise and thanksgiving to Him who provides for your needs. In this way your food will be blessed and hallowed in your body, without your being concerned about this." | | | | | | #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian #thanksgiving https://www.instagram.com/p/CID0onmp3fz/?igshid=zm5grqg7k6cd

This week, we look at the life of Mort Apollonia ♰ 245. Her story, which is narrated by Patriarch St. Dionysius of Alexandria to a presbyter in Antioch is found in the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius "Chapter XLI - The Martyrs in Alexandria." : During the reign of Emperor Philip of Alexandria, Christians were persecuted throughout Alexandria. St. Apollonia was among those who were persecuted. An angry mob seized St. Apollonia, broke all her teeth with blows on her jaws, and piling up a bonfire before the city, threatened to burn her alive if she refused to recite with them the blasphemous sayings. But she asked for a brief delay (as if to consider the proposal) and without flinching leapt into the fire and was consumed. : From an initial reading, one may consider her actions to be suicide, and therefore a justification of the same. However, the Church Fathers were quick to point out the parallels with the Biblical figure Samson, who put himself in harms way to follow God's commandments. : The feast of St. Apollonia is celebrated on February 8th in the Syriac Orthodox Church. | | | | | | | #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian #WednesdayofWomanhood https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6-aKTlnHa/?igshid=1vh72055bmb9j

This week we look at the term "Qaddish" which means holy. As mentioned, various forms of the Syriac term Qaddish and its root are found in the Syriac language. For example, when addressing our Patriarchs we call them "His Holiness" or Qaddišuṯeh. Regarding holiness, Mor Babowai the Catholicos ♰ 484 says, "Do not neglect your soul, but persevere in stilling unclean thoughts in its depths, for they habitually hinder the heart from progressing in purity and holiness by making it impure." Today, let us all make a commitment to strive for holiness in our actions and words, for as we read in the Holy Scriptures, "But be ye holy in all your conduct, as he is holy who hath called you. Because it is written: Be ye holy, even as I am holy."

This week, we look at the term "Shunoyo" ܫܽܘܢܳܝܳܐ. The term Shunoyo is used for the Feast of the Departure of St. Mary the Theotokos. The Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch celebrates this feast every year on August 15th. The Syriac term Shunoyo may also be translated as Transitus or change, corresponding to the bodily transfer of the Virgin Mary into paradise after death. : Shunoyo is also known as the Feast of the Grapes. In the Byzantine tradition this feast is known as the Dormition, while the Latin west calls it the Assumption. : On this day, St. Thomas was given the Girdle (soonoro/belt) of the Virgin as testimony to the other Holy Apostles that she was translated to heaven. Syriac tradition reports that St. Thomas took the girdle of the Virgin Mary with him to India where he was martyred at the hands of pagan priests. When Thomas’ relics were taken to Edessa in the fourth century, the Holy girdle was brought with them. Finally the girdle reached the Church of the Virgin in Homs, which has been called the Church of the Virgin’s Girdle (Um al-Zennar Church) ever since. This church was originally built in 59AD by Melea, one of the 72 Evangelists. Portions of this blessed relic have been placed in the reliquaries of churches around the world. : May the intercession of St. Mary Yoldath Aloho be with us all as we celebrate Shunoyo tomorrow! | | | | | | | #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian #FaithFriday https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3_j7dlnqz/?igshid=n6pbg1u7u6vc

This week we look at the life of St. Agatha ♰ 251. : St. Agatha was born in Palermo or Catina, Sicily, She vowed her virginity to God. When she refused to marry the Consul Quintian, he made laws against Christianity and she was tortured. When her breasts were cut off, St. Peter appeared to her in a vision and healed her. When she was rolled over hot coals mixed with broken pottery, an earthquake shook the town. Quintian, fearing from protests, sent her to prison where she died of her tortures in 251 A.D. : After a year following her death, Mount Etna erupted and threatened to engulf the town. The people in the town took her veil and interceded to Saint Agatha. The lava changed directions and the town was saved. The intercession of St. Agatha is specifically requested in earthquakes and breast disease. Her feast day is celebrated on February 5th annually. | | | | | | | #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian #WednesdayofWomanhood https://www.instagram.com/p/CDg9r3KlM0d/?igshid=157enve8a6a05

This week we look briefly at the life of St. Hilaria, in the hopes of diving deeper in the near future. Her life was written by St. Pambo : St. Hilaria was a princess, and the daughter of Emperor Zeno. From her childhood, she was drawn to the monastic life and at the age of 18 she left the palace, disguised herself as a man andy entered a monastery. She lived as a monk for many years, without revealing herself to anyone. Her long hagiography is quite unique and an example of the importance of hearing the countless untold stories of women in the history of Christendom. | | | | | | | #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian #WednesdayofWomanhood https://www.instagram.com/p/CDO06h9FtGB/?igshid=1adtkk34ouewa

This week we look at the term 'Mor' or 'Mar' which is frequently used in our everyday worship life as a Syriac Orthodox Christian. As Payne says in the compendius Syriac dictionary, Mor is used “not only in addressing a superior, but as a title of ecclesiastics and saints". The female equivalent is Mort. : In the Syriac Orthodox tradition, the Peshitta Bible uses the term Moran (our Lord) in lieu of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, whenever referring to God. We call our Lord Jesus Christ, Moran Yeshu M'shiho in Syriac. The phrase "Moran Mor" is used when addressing the Patriarch of Antioch, signifying him being in the highest ecclesiastical position of the Holy Church. | | | | | | #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian #FaithFriday https://www.instagram.com/p/CCd6_rHlZah/?igshid=c3q0h6prq39c

This week we look briefly at the life of St. Euphemia of Chalcedon ♰ 304 whom the Syriac Orthodox Church commemorates on July 11th. : She was martyred for the Christian faith during the reign of the tyrannical Diocletian. St. Euphemia refused to worship the pagan idols, and was subsequently tortured because of it. She was finally thrown to wild beasts, receiving the heavenly crown of martyrdom. : In the 21st century, especially in the West, we are fortunate to have religious freedom and are no longer forced to worship other deities. However, oftentimes out of our own volition, we make idols of famous personalities, including politicians and celebrities. As we seek role models to emulate, let us always strive to follow only those whom- in both in word and deed- will lead us to Christ. May the prayers of St. Euphemia be with us all. | | | | | | | #urho #UrhoTheWay #SyriacOrthodox #Malankara #MGSOSA #Syriac #Orthodox #OrientalOrthodox #Christianity #syrianorthodox #MalankaraSyriacOrthodox #Jacobite #knanaya #suryoyo #Orthodox #coptic #copticorthodox #armenianorthodox #tewahedo #ethiopianorthodox #eritreanorthodox #orthodoxchristian #WednesdayofWomanhood https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYvosylTDc/?igshid=18geowf75rnhy

To read the latest blogpost of Organic Orthodoxy entitled "The Enigma of the Cross" please click the link in bio! : "Structures, however massive they may be, collapse if the foundation is not strong enough; so does theology when the hypothesis itself is erroneous. Christian theology is bound to fall if the Cross of Christ does not form its hypothesis for the Cross is the centripetal force that sustains the entire creation. Any attempt to sever from it would result in discordance and chaos."
