'''Saint Ephrem the Syrian''' (AD 306 – June 9, AD 373), also known as Ephrem of Edessa or Aprem of Nisibis, was a Syriac [[Saints|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 in his youth and mentored by [[Saint James of Nisibis]], serving as a teacher and deacon. In AD 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. Known for over 400 hymns, his works, written in Syriac, include the *Hymns on Paradise*, *Hymns on Faith*, and commentaries on the Bible, notably the *Diatessaron*. Around AD 370, he visited [[Saint Basil the Great]] in Caesarea to resolve spiritual struggles. During a famine and plague in Edessa in AD 373, Ephrem distributed aid and cared for the sick, contracting a fatal illness. Canonized pre-Congregation, he was declared a Doctor of the Church in AD 1920 by [[Pope Benedict XV]]. His feast day is [[June 9]] in the Roman Catholic Church, [[January 28]] in Eastern Orthodox and Syriac traditions, and [[June 10]] in the Episcopal Church (USA). He is patron of spiritual directors and leaders.<ref name="web1">{{cite web |title=St. Ephrem |url=https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-ephrem-489 |website=Catholic News Agency |publisher=Catholic News Agency |access-date=2025-05-15 |date=2025-05-07}}</ref><ref name="web2">{{cite web |title=Ephrem the Syrian |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephrem_the_Syrian |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-15}}</ref><ref name="web5">{{cite web |title=St. Ephraem |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05498a.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-15}}</ref> | '''Saint Ephrem the Syrian''' (AD 306 – June 9, AD 373), also known as Ephrem of Edessa or Aprem of Nisibis, was a Syriac [[Saints|saint]], deacon, hymnographer, and theologian, revered as the “Harp of the Holy Spirit” for his poetic contributions to Eastern Christianity.
