Description
Although his parents were strong Christians, Ephraim (or Ephrem), born in Nisbis, was thoughtless and rebellious in his youth. It was not until his antics bordered on crime and he was accused of theft that Ephrem began to repent of his ways, and he struggled for a while to truly repent, and not only fear punishment.
As a young man looking to change, he went into the wilderness to join a community of hermits. Under their guidance, he took to the life of a monk. He devoted himself to prayer, study, and writing. He composed hundreds of hymns, sermons, and apologetic works, and went on to teach outside his monastic community. He traveled for a period of his life and participated in the Church’s development, but he spent his final years in a cave in silence and solitude. He is commemorated on January 28.

A Great New Edition to my Icon Corner
I recently moved from the Northeast of the US down to the great State of Texas, into a new home. I purchased two (2) icons to grace my new icon corner - one of Saint Ephraim, while the other depicts the 'Three Holy Hierarchs'. I am very selective of who I include in my Icon Corner, and I was so intrigued and inspired by Ephraim's story -- one that I can personally connect with -- I figured this was a great 'house warming gift' to bless my new home! And to wit, one of the parishes I am checking out in my new town is Saint Ephraim the Syrian. I am beyond pleased with the quality of products and services provided by Legacy Icons. Legacy Icons consistently exceeds my expectations!
