If you are speaking of His Holiness Mar Yuhannon Hormzid, first Patriarch & Catholicos of Babylon & Ur of the Chaldees of the Catholic Chaldeans, the answer is no and I doubt that is something one could expect to happen. While he brought the Chaldeans into communion and was, ultimately, accorded the patriarchal title, his era of intrigue and on-again off-again relationships with Rome in the years leading up to that make him an unlikely candidate for the honors of the altar.

No i am asking about Ramban Hormzid who lived in the 6th or 7th century.

Hmm, can’t say the name rings any bells - care to elaborate a bit on who he was? Maybe that will help. The personal name suggests an Assyrian ethnicity. Ramban is generally a title - rabbi, teacher, priest, or some similiar equivalent.

Yes, both the Chaldean and Assyrian churches have a great devotion to Rabban Hormizd. His feast day is on the third Monday after Easter, along with Mar Pithyon. If you would like more info on him and the monastic order named after him in Iraq, check out the following links.

BTW, its not Ramban, its Rabban. It is an honorific word that means monk, similar to how the word “Abba” is used in Coptic.
