Monastic Life in the Syriac Orthodox Church

 


[Calendar]    home [Saints Calendar]

Syriac Orthodox saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives and God did miracles through them. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts.

This alphabetic list includes saints on the General Syriac Orthodox Calendar as well as other holy people for each day of the year. Most saints and holy people have specially designated feast days in the church. Syriac people remembers these holy men and women in a special way. Some feast dates on this site fall on days other than the official feast day. We will update this list according to the calendar of the saints which is integral part of our faith and tradition.
