In this episode we will learn about the life and enduring legacy of Rabban Hormizd, a 7th-century ascetic and monk within the Church of the East. Originating from a noble background, Hormizd embraced a rigorous monastic life, eventually founding the influential Rabban Hormizd Monastery near Alqosh in present-day Iraq. This monastery became a significant center for East Syriac monasticism, fostering spiritual growth, scholarship, and even serving as a patriarchal seat for centuries. Hormizd's extreme asceticism, miracles attributed to him, and the lasting impact of his monastic foundation have solidified his veneration as a saint across various Eastern Christian traditions, making him a pivotal figure in their spiritual history and a continued source of inspiration.
