Rouhan is the Syriac name for Saint Cyriacus who was called
"the spiritual one" -- in Syriac, Rouhana. He was born at Corinth
in the year 446 and became a monk in Palestine under the direction of Saint Euthymus. He became the superior of his monastery and was a model for all because of his piety, wisdom and exhortations. He died at the age of 108. Certain Maronite calendars refer to him as Rouhana, "the cantor." Many churches and monasteries in Lebanon are dedicated to him.May St. Rouhana's prayers be of melodic protection to us. Amen.
