Sergius died in the first persecution in the monastery of Mar Mama See factoid page
Between A.D. 521 and 526 the community was forced to leave their monastery by the defenders of the corrupt synod of Chalcedon. The community was so large, that the monastery of Mar Mama in the village of Hzyn in Ṭyšf could not hold them. See factoid page
When the community was at Mar Mama, a miracle occurred, where those affected by famine were fed by unending bread at the monastery after the fathers had prayed. See factoid page
