Narsai
Sign in to saveAlso known as Narses
Narsai (sometimes spelt Narsay, Narseh or Narses; , name derived from Pahlavi Narsēh from Avestan Nairyō.saȵhō, meaning 'potent utterance'; ) was one of the foremost of the poet-theologians of the early Church of the East, perhaps equal in stature to Jacob of Serugh, both second only to Ephrem the Syrian. He is venerated as a saint in all the modern descendants of the Church of the East; the Chaldean Catholic Church, Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East, and Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. Saint Narsai is known as the 'Flute of the Holy Spirit.'
