Ephrem the Syrian (Classical Syriac: ܡܪܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ Mār Ap̠rêm Suryāyâ, Classical Syriac pronunciation: [mɒr aɸˈrem surˈjɒˌjɒ]; Koine Greek: Ἐφραίμ ὁ Σῦρος; Latin: Ephraem Syrus, also known as Saint Ephraem, Ephrem, or Ephraim; c. 306 - 373) was a Syriac Christian deacon and a prolific Syriac-language hymnographer and theologian of the fourth century.
Ephrem is especially beloved in the Syriac Orthodox Church, and counted as a Venerable Father (i.e., a sainted Monk) in the Eastern Orthodox Church. His feast day is celebrated on 28 January and on the Saturday of the Venerable Fathers. He was declared a Doctor of the Church in the Catholic Church in 1920.
Ephrem wrote a wide variety of hymns, poems, and sermons in verse, as well as prose exegesis. These were works of practical theology for the edification of the Church in troubled times. So popular were his works, that, for centuries after his death, Christian authors wrote hundreds of pseudepigraphal works in his name. He has been called the most significant of all of the fathers of the Syriac-speaking church tradition.

Does anyone have a representation of the dream? I have been looking for it for years! Saint Ephrem is an inspiration for me and his figure translates what being a Christian, being Syrian or Syrian descendant means: he was a true saint with charity actions, worried about the poor, strong faith, enlightened mind! We will never forget those saints and Christ lives in the East as well. I really wish that we descendants of Christian faith go back to Syria and Iraq and rebuild those places...may God bless this land and its people

Greatings from an Iranian Muslim to all Christian brothers and sisters. I love all of the Orthodox Saints as well as some Catholic ones and receive much inspiration and wisdom from there in my own struggle to live a life that is pleasing to God. I am sorry to see what ISIS and similar groups have done to our Christian brothers and sisters. But as we all know they never represented Islam. Representatives of Islam are Muslim Saints who treated everyone with love and kindness without any consideration for their religious affiliations. This is a lovely and inspiring video. Please continue to produce more of this kind of videos to supply the viewers with knowledge and inspiration. Thank you and God bless you and your work.
