Mari is 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 Persia.[3] He performs a number of miracles as proof of his holiness.[4]
He and Thaddeus are credited with the Liturgy of Addai and Mari.[5]

Mari is venerated as a saint by the Assyrian Church of the East, the Chaldean Catholic Church, and the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. His feast day is 5 August in the Christian calendar.[6]
