Standing Together in Prayer - Commemoration of St. Jacob of Sarug (Syriac Orthodox Church)

“Mor Yac’ub was one of the foremost Syriac poet-theologians among the Syriacs. In the wealth of words & ease of expression, he ranks next to St. Ephrem, the Syrian. Jacob of Serugh, well-known for his serenity and love of peace, is known as the ‘Flute of the Spirit’.” (Patriarch Moran Mor Ignatius Aphrem II)
