These documented events suggest that Jonah's words were given credibility and adhered to, with everyone allegedly cutting off from food and drinks, including animals and children.[9] As the patriarch Joseph ({{lang-syc|ܝܘܣܦ}}) had been deposed, Ezekiel ({{lang-syc|ܚܙܩܝܐܝܠ}}) had been selected to replace him, much to the joy of the king Khusrow Anushirwan who loved him and held him in high esteem.[10] A mighty plague devastated Mesopotamia with the Sassanian authorities unable to curb its spread and the dead littered the streets, in particular the imperial capital Seleucia-Ctesiphon ({{lang-syc|ܣܠܝܩ ܩܛܝܣܦܘܢ}}) The metropolitans of Adiabene ({{lang-syc|ܚܕܝܒ}} "Ḥdāyaḇ", encompassing Arbil, Nineveh, Hakkari and Adhorbayjan) and Beth Garmai ({{lang-syc|ܒܝܬ ܓܪ̈ܡܝ}} "Bēṯ Garmai", encompassing Kirkuk and the surrounding region) called for services of prayer, fasting and penitence to be held in all the churches under their jurisdiction, as was believed to have been done by the Ninevites following the preaching of the prophet Jonah. Following its success, the tradition has been strictly adhered to every year by the members of the Church of the East. Patriarchs of the Church of the East and Chaldean Catholic Church also called for extra fasts{{when|date=January 2018}} in an effort to alleviate the suffering and affliction of those persecuted by ISIS in the region of Nineveh and the rest of the Middle East.[11] References1. ^https://web.archive.org/web/20150910075055/http://soc-wus.netfirms.com/CAL2015/2.jpg {{Christianity-stub}}2. ^http://soc-wus.netfirms.com/CAL2016/2.jpg 3. ^https://suscopts.org/coptic-orthodox/fasts-and-feasts/ 4. ^http://www.soc-wus.org/CAL2018/1.jpg 5. ^http://suscopts.org/coptic-orthodox/fasts-and-feasts/2019/ 6. ^{{cite web|title=Three Day Fast of Nineveh|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110213054543/http://syrianorthodoxchurch.org/news/2011/02/10/three-day-fast-of-nineveh/|publisher=Syrian Orthodox Church (retrieved from the Internet Archive)}} 7. ^Barsoum, Ignatius Aphrem I (2003).
