Maurelio di Voghenza was a 7th-century Syrian priest who served as the bishop of Voghenza. Born in Edessa, he was reportedly the son of a pagan king, though he later renounced his royal status to embrace Christianity. After receiving ordination, he was summoned to Rome by Pope John IV. Following a divine vision, he was appointed to lead the diocese in Voghenza. His life ended in Edessa in 644, where he is believed to have been martyred due to political tensions between the papacy and Byzantine authorities.
