Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the first patron of the Christian Orient, who passed away in God’s glory with faith and professing the truth. It aims to present the profiles of selected divine intercessors of the oriental world, often forgotten patrons for the time of the pandemic in today’s society. However, this topic is too extensive for one article, so it is only an introduction to the hagiography of the saints of the Orient.
