Saint Ephraim the Syrian (IV century) was born in the ancient Mesopotamian city of Nisivina and, having accepted monasticism, became famous for the height of his spiritual life. The works of Saint Ephraim were translated into other languages during his lifetime and were even read in churches after the Holy Scriptures. Reading the prayerful works of Saint Ephraim is essential and salutary for the Orthodox soul. Ephraim the Syrian is a Christian theologian and poet, one of the Teachers of the Church of the IV century. Ephraim, who was in an atmosphere of piety since childhood, nevertheless often got angry with those around him; once in such a state he sent a cow to certain death. He managed to avoid punishment, but a few years later it overtook him when he ended up in prison on a false charge of theft. Ephraim the Syrian, who had previously doubted God's providence, realized that the Lord sees all deeds and rewards everyone according to their actions. After these events, Ephraim went up the mountain and joined the hermits, an avalanche of repentance opened up in his soul, he did not stop repenting even in the smallest offenses until the end of his life. His spiritual mentor for a decade and a half was Bishop Jacob of Nisibis, after his death, Ephraim the Syrian went to Edessa, a city that contained a lot of evidence of the gospel events that took place there. Here he had to endure many temptations, and the local residents were mostly pagans. In addition to missionary work, St. Ephraim read and prayed a lot, his neighbor, the elder Julian, was an example for him.
