Saints and Scholars of Christian Antioch

From an interview with Monk Elia by Road to Emmaus (6:3, 2005).

RTE: Father Elia, we often hear of "the Greek Fathers," and "the early Church Fathers," but with the exception of obvious names, like Ephrem the Syrian, Isaac the Syriac, and St. John Damascene, we generally have only vague notions of who actually belonged to the Antiochian patrimony. Can you recount some of the most well-known saints?

MONK ELIA: There were thousands of saints who originated from Antioch. For example, of the apostles and disciples: Sts. Peter and Paul the Apostles, the founders and patron saints of the Patriarchal See of Antioch; St. Quartos the Apostle, one of the Seventy, the founder and patron of the Archdiocese of Beirut; St. John Mark the Evangelist, the founder and patron of the Archdiocese of Byblos; and St. Sila or Silouan the Apostle, one of the Seventy, the founder and patron saint of the Archdiocese of Botrys.
