Biography

Hidayat Aloho was born in the city of Mardin in the 16th century. In 1586 he became a monk in the Monastery of Mor Hananyo near Mardin, where he was ordained a deacon the following year by the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius David II Shah. In 1595, Hidayat was ordained bishop and in 1597 was consecrated Maphrian by Ignatius Pilate I and patriarch later that year upon his death. Upon becoming patriarch he assumed the patriarchal name Ignatius.

Upon Hidayat's death, Ignatius Simon I became patriarch, however his rule was contested by the Bishop of Damascus, Ahatallah.
