Saint of the Week:
Saint Ephrem of Syria Died: June 9, 373
Born: 306
Memorial: June 9
Canonized: Unknown
It is believed that Ephrem was the son of a pagan priest. At age 18, he was brought to
the faith by Saint James of Nisibis. He developed a great devotion to the Blessed Virgin
Mary. As a young man, Ephrem helped to evangelize Nisibis, Mesopotamia. He may have also attended the
Council of Nicaea in 325. In 363, Nisibis was ceded to Persia and a great persecution of Christians began.
Ephrem led an exodus of the faithful to Edessa. There he wrote many homilies, hymns and poetry and
helped introduce the use of hymns in public worship. He fought Gnosticism and Arianism through his
writings. He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1920.
