Life
The Syrian Bulos Jasidschi is the brother of today's Patriarch Johanna Jasidschi (John X. of Antioch ). He first studied civil engineering at the Tischrin University in his native Lattakia. Bulos Jasidschi continued his education in theology and received his doctorate from the University of Thessaloniki . In 1985 he was Bishop Youhanna Mansour for deacon ordained. From 1992 he was a priest and he taught at the Faculty of Theology at the University of Balamand in Lebanon , where he became dean of the Theological Faculty. From 1994 Yasiji became Archimandrite and presided over the Monastery of Our Lady of Belmont until 2011 . On October 20, 2000, he was ordained Archbishop of Aleppo in the Mariamite Cathedral in Damascus.
On April 22, 2013, the Greek Orthodox Archbishop Bulos Jasidschi and Gregorios Johanna Ibrahim , the Aleppo Syrian Orthodox Archbishop, were forcibly kidnapped on their way to peace negotiations in al-Mansura. In turn, the two wanted to campaign for the release of two kidnapped priests; a deacon, who was also their driver, was killed by the brigades.
In 2014, both of them were absent (or posthumously) to receive the city of Weimar's human rights award . The award is justified for the commitment to mediate between different minorities or religions.
