'''Saint Mari''' was converted by [[Saint Addai]]. He is said to have had [[Saint Aggai]] as his [[spiritual director]]. He is also believed to have done missionary work around [[Nineveh]], [[Nisibis]], and along the [[Euphrates]], and is said to have been one of the great apostles to [[Syria]] and [[Persian Empire|Persia]]. He and Addai are credited with the ''[[Divine Liturgy of Addai and Mari]]''. Despite the fact that there is little if any concrete information on Mari, he is still venerated as a saint by the [[Assyrian Church of the East]],[[Chaldean Catholic Church]] and the [[Syro Malabar Catholic Church]].
