St. Ephrem was a deacon, hymn writer, and theologian born in the 4 th century in what is now the country of Turkey. He died in 373. He wrote
hundreds of hymns, poems, and homilies and is honored and revered by churches of both the East and West. His writings were intended to
counteract the many heresies in the history of the early church.
St. Barnabas: Barnabas was one of the very earliest followers of Jesus and a leader of the early church. His story is told in the Acts of the
Apostles and he is also mentioned in some of Paul’s letters. Originally called Joseph, he was given his new name of Barnabas by those who knew
him well, it means ‘son of encouragement.
