Saints

This page aims to provide information on some of the many saints that we admire and respect in the Assyrian Church of the East. We are encouraged by them, that though they were born as normal humans like you and I (not in a perfect state like Jesus Christ our Lord), their faithful life journey to imitate Christ so faithfully and zealously, is exemplified by their deeds, even accepting painful and torturous persecutions, and in some cases death - All in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. 


We look to these mighty Saints, and make it our life's aim to imitate them, as they imitated Christ.
