Sabrisho I (also Sabr-Ishu, Syriac for "hope in Jesus") was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 596 to 604, during the rule of King Khosrow II.
Sabrisho was born in 525 in Beth Garmai (near modern-day Kirkuk) in the Sasanian Empire. He was the son of a shepherd from the mountainous region of Shahrizur. His priest sent him to the School of Nisibis.
He was a hermit for many years and was a strong supporter of the monastic way of life. He was influential in integrating monasticism into the church. Another strong supporter of monasticism at the time was Abraham the Great of Kashkar.
He became Bishop of Lashom in 577 and carried out several missionary journeys. He was involved in the conversion of King Nuʿman III of Ḥirta of the Lakhmid kingdom.[1]
Shortly after his appointment in 596, he started to convene a synod which was held in 598 in
Seleucia-Ctesiphon[2] where he anathematized the opponents of Theodore of Mopsuestia.[3]
Other conflicts during Sabrisho's tenure included that with Henana of Adiabene, who he excommunicated from the Church.
