Saint '''Addai''' was the [[evangelism|evangelizer]] of Edessa and is believed to be one of the Seventy [[Apostles]] of [[Christ]], known to [[Eusebius of Caesarea]] as the [[Apostle Thaddeus]]. He is purported by Eusebius to have visited King [[Abgar]] of Edessa, healing him and preaching to him. The Syriac account of this story is titled the ''Teaching of Addai'', and there are questions about its historicity. The story possibly dates instead from the 3rd century and may have been used in [[polemic]]s against the [[Manichaeanism|Manichaean]] "apostle" also named Addai.

The [[Syrian liturgy|Syriac liturgy]] referred to as the [[Liturgy of Addai and Mari]], which originated around the year 200 A.D. and is used by the [[Assyrian Church of the East]], claims a connection to this saint.

He went to the city of Beirut to preach, and he founded a church there. It was in this city that he peacefully died in the year 44.
