'''Saint Ephrem''' (c. 306 – June 9, 373), also known as '''Ephrem the Syrian''', '''Ephrem of Edessa''', or Aprem of Nisibis, was a [[Syriac]] saint, deacon, hymnographer, and theologian, revered as the “Harp of the Holy Spirit” for his poetic contributions to Eastern Christianity. Born in [[Nisibis]], Mesopotamia, to Christian parents, he was baptized as a youth and mentored by [[Saint James of Nisibis]], serving as a teacher and deacon. In 363, after Nisibis fell to the Persians, he relocated to [[Edessa]], where he founded a theological school and combated heresies like Gnosticism and Arianism through hymns and homilies.
