Flavianos Michael Malke (Syriac: ܦܠܒܝܐܢܘܣ ܡܝܟܐܝܠ ܡܠܟܝ, Flavyānus Mikhayil Malké), born Ya'Qūb Melkī; (1858 – 29 August 1915) was an Eastern Catholic prelate of the Brothers of Saint Ephrem of an Syriac background.[1] He became the Syrian Catholic eparch of Gazarta (modern Cizre).[1][2] Malke was killed in Gazarta during the Assyrian/Syriac Genocide after he refused to convert to Islam.
On 8 August 2015, Pope Francis approved his beatification after he determined that Malke was killed in hatred of the faith.[1] He was beatified on 29 August 2015, the centenary of his martyrdom.[3]
