==Biography==
Ignatius was born in the 9th century as Yeshu; he went on to become a monk at the Monastery of Harbaz. After the death of Patriarch John III, the Holy See of Antioch was vacant between 873 and 878. In 878, the [[metropolitan bishop]]s of the Syriac Orthodox Church convened at the Monastery of Mor Zacchaeus, near [[Raqqa]] and elected Yeshu as Patriarch and he was consecrated as patriarch on June 5 878. Upon his consecration, Yeshu took the name Ignatius.

Biography

Ignatius was born in the 9th century and became a monk at the monastery of Harbaz.[4] He was chosen to succeed John IV as patriarch of Antioch and was consecrated on 5 June 878 (AG 1189) by Timothy of Samosata at a synod at the monastery of Saint Zacchaeus at Raqqa, which was attended by four bishops.[5] Upon his consecration, Ignatius issued twelve canons.[4]

He soon came into conflict with Sergius, archbishop of Tikrit and ex officio Grand Metropolitan of the East, the highest-ranking prelate amongst the eastern bishops (bishops of the former Sasanian Empire).[6] Sergius had lost the recognition of the eastern bishops after he had allocated dioceses to Elisha' and Bar Hadh Bshabba, who had been excommunicated by both Patriarch John IV and Basil II Lazarus, Sergius' predecessor as archbishop of Tikrit and Grand Metropolitan of the East.[7] He was thus not invited to attend Ignatius' consecration, to which he responded by withholding his recognition of Ignatius and refused to have his name proclaimed in the east.[6]

The dispute between Ignatius and Sergius was eventually resolved after they were imprisoned and fined 2000 dinars.[6] He served as patriarch of Antioch until his death on 26 March 883 (AG 1194) at Meriba, where he was buried.[8]
