Syriac Christianity
Syriac Christianity (Syriac: ܡܫܝܚܝܘܬܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܬܐ / mšiḥāiūṯā suryāiṯā) encompasses the multiple Churches of Eastern Christianity whose services tend to feature liturgical use of ancient Syriac, a dialect of Middle Aramaic that emerged in Edessa in the early 1st century AD, and is closely related to the Aramaic of Jesus. Jesus Christ was known as Yešua` mšiḥā in Aramaic.
With a history going back to the 1st century AD, in modern times Syriac Christianity is represented by denominations primarily in the Middle East, Asia Minor and in Kerala, India.
Christianity began in the Middle East in Jerusalem among Jewish Aramaic-speaking Semitic peoples of Judah (modern Israel, Palestinian Territories and Jordan). It quickly spread, initially to other Semitic peoples, in Parthian-ruled Assyria and Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), Roman-ruled Syria (ancient Aramea), Phoenicia (modern Lebanon), southern and eastern Asia Minor (modern Turkey), and northwestern Persia (modern Iran) and Malta. From there it spread to Greece, Armenia, Egypt, Georgia, the Caucasus region and on into The Balkans, India, North Africa, Rome, Ethiopia, Nubia (modern Sudan) and Arabia, and eventually southern and western Europe.

The Formation of Syriac Christian Culture Through Poetry – Jeff Wickes
Jeff Wickes, associate professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, focuses on the interplay between Syriac literature, theology, and liturgy in the context of late antique Christianity. Building projects that work from close readings of Syriac texts, he gravitates in his work towards larger questions of genre (especially poetry), religion, and theology as they play out within the historical horizons of late antique Christianity, and as those horizons meet our own in the contemporary world. His first two books focused on Syriac Christianity’s formative voice, Ephrem the Syrian, and sought to find the place where performative context and exegesis met in the space of Ephrem’s poetry. His current book turns to a range of Syriac hagiographical poems sung between the fourth and sixth ...

Why and How Was The Syriac Orthodox Maphrianate Established In The East? - Fr. Iskandar Bcheiry
📅 Please join us LIVE on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 10:00AM ET/8:30PM IST on Facebook/YouTube for an online lecture by Fr. Dr. Iskandar Bcheiry on the topic "Why and how was the Syriac Orthodox Maphrianate established in the East? A historical-critical approach to the sources." There will be a Q&A; session after the lecture. Abstract: The lecture sheds light on the events and circumstances that led to the reorganization of the Syriac Orthodox Church in the East (the Sasanian Empire) during the first half of the seventh century through the establishment of an ecclesiastical structure with a local head centered in Tikrit but with subordination to the ecclesiastical leadership in Antioch. This lecture aims to re-examine the course of events described in the sources (such as the Life of...

Christians in Turkey | DW Documentary
For a long time, Syriac Orthodox Christians were religiously persecuted in Turkey. Now, more and more are returning to their historic homeland in the southeast of the country. Among them is a nun who wants to revitalize the village where she grew up. Hatune Dogan, a Syriac Orthodox nun, was born in İzbırak in 1970. The 270 Christian families who still lived in the village back then later fled. That included Sister Hatune, who left her home in the 1980s with her parents and nine siblings. Southeastern Turkey was the scene of a military conflict between the Turkish army and Kurdish PKK militias - with Christians caught between the two sides. Syriac Orthodox Christians in Turkey are believed to have been one of the earliest Christian communities. Over the centuries, the group - with its own...

The Coptic Orthodox Church whose establishment is attributed to St. Mark the Apostle in the 1st century CE
The Coptic Orthodox Church (the term "Copt" comes from the Greek word “aegiptos,” meaning “Egyptian”), whose establishment is attributed to St. Mark the Apostle in the 1st century CE. Ancient Christian manuscripts were found in the Egyptian deserts indicating the beginning of Christian asceticism.
The compound at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher houses the seat of the Coptic Archbishop and three churches, the most important one of which is the Church of St. Antonius dating from the 3rd century. When Antonius, who founded Coptic the monastic movement, was alone in the desert Satan tried to tempt him.
When Satan attempted to remove his hat, which had been given to him by God as a symbol of his adherence to Christianity, the hat tore during the struggle. Antonius repaired the hat and since then Coptic monks have worn this distinctive hat with a prominent seam that divides the hat in two, as a constant reminder of the dangers of temptation and being distracted from God.
Beneath the compound is rooms dating from the Middle Ages and a large water cistern from the Byzantine period. The Copts have a chapel in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and several other buildings in the Christian Quarter.
At the entrance of the Patriarchate is St Helena's Coptic Orthodox Church in which is a large underground 4th-century cistern accessed by a staircase. This was discovered in the 4th Century by Constantine's mother Queen Helena and provides water to the Church of Holy Sepulchre.

Below Are NOTES About Today's PODCAST: The Syriac Mystics of Eastern Christianity -- A Podcast of Spiritual Awakening Radio With James Bean
"Truth and Love are wings that cannot be separated, for Truth cannot fly without Love, nor can Love soar aloft without Truth." (Saint Ephrem the Syrian)
"Look at God within yourself, how 'God is Light.' For his Nature is a glorious, many-splendored Light. He manifests the Light of his Nature to those who love Him in all the worlds…" (John of Dalyatha, Syriac Mystic)
"To be glorified art Thou, the Father Supreme, born of Thy First-born in the silence and tranquility of meditation." -- Syriac Acts of Saint Thomas
"There is a silence of the tongue. There is a silence of the whole body. There is a silence of the soul. There is a silence of the mind, and there is a silence of the spirit." (Abraham of Nathpar)
"Open your ears, and I shall speak to you. Give Me yourself, so that I may also give you Myself." (Odes, 9: 1-2)
"What wonders has your love effected!
When someone is still alive
he has left this world:
though his bodily condition remains
with the world's bodily condition,
yet his spirit has been raised up towards You,
so that for a period of time
he is where he knows not,
being totally raptured and drawn towards You."
-- John of Apamea
Several scholars have made a convincing case that the Syriac mystics were a major influence upon early Sufism. And Sufism, as many know, has been an influence on the Sants of India. There is a demonstrable connection between East & West via several sources (Syriac mystics of the Church of the East in the Saint Thomas tradition, Mazdakism, Manichaeism and other schools of Gnosticism) and the Sant tradition of India.
Sebastian Brock, Scholar of Eastern Christianity and Aramaic-Syriac Saints, has translated many wonderful texts of Eastern Saints such as Isaac of Nineveh, Abdusho (Joseph the Visionary), John of Dalyatha, Abraham of Nathpar, Martyrius, Babai, Philoxenus of Mabbug, Aphrahat, Ephrem, John of Apamea, Jacob of Sarug, and others, in great books such as, The Syriac Fathers on Prayer and the Spiritual Life, The Wisdom of St. Isaac of Nineveh, A Garland of Hymns from the Early Church (including Odes of Solomon), The Luminous Eye, and several others.
"The text-book and pulpit notion that all Christendom is divided between Greek East and Latin West overlooks an ancient and still continuing third stream of tradition: Syriac Christianity.
"Cut off from the rest of the Christian world by theological controversy in the fifth century, Arab conquest in the seventh and Mongol invasions in the thirteenth, Syrian Christians continues to celebrate the Christian mysteries, to meditate on Scripture and to apply its teachings to their lives.
"Some of them, attempting to realise here on earth their baptismal potential to re-enter paradise, chose a life of asceticism and single-minded devotion to Christ. Their reflections created across the centuries a rich literature. Some passed into the byzantine tradition; some remained unknown to other Christians and have never until now been translated into a modern language.
"These Syriac fathers offer the modern heirs of both Latin and Greek Christendom new, yet ancient and enduring insights on prayer and the spiritual life." (The Syriac Fathers on Prayer and the Spiritual Life, by Professor Sebastian Brock of Oxford University)

Below Are NOTES About Today's PODCAST: The Syriac Mystics of Eastern Christianity -- A Podcast of Spiritual Awakening Radio With James Bean
"Truth and Love are wings that cannot be separated, for Truth cannot fly without Love, nor can Love soar aloft without Truth." (Saint Ephrem the Syrian)
"Look at God within yourself, how 'God is Light.' For his Nature is a glorious, many-splendored Light. He manifests the Light of his Nature to those who love Him in all the worlds…" (John of Dalyatha, Syriac Mystic)
"To be glorified art Thou, the Father Supreme, born of Thy First-born in the silence and tranquility of meditation." -- Syriac Acts of Saint Thomas
"There is a silence of the tongue. There is a silence of the whole body. There is a silence of the soul. There is a silence of the mind, and there is a silence of the spirit." (Abraham of Nathpar)
"Open your ears, and I shall speak to you. Give Me yourself, so that I may also give you Myself." (Odes, 9: 1-2)
"What wonders has your love effected!
When someone is still alive
he has left this world:
though his bodily condition remains
with the world's bodily condition,
yet his spirit has been raised up towards You,
so that for a period of time
he is where he knows not,
being totally raptured and drawn towards You."
-- John of Apamea

Why and How Was The Syriac Orthodox Maphrianate Established In The East? - Fr. Iskandar Bcheiry

📅 Please join us LIVE on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 10:00AM ET/8:30PM IST on Facebook/YouTube for an online lecture by Fr. Dr. Iskandar Bcheiry on the topic "Why and how was the Syriac Orthodox Maphrianate established in the East? A historical-critical approach to the sources." There will be a Q&A; session after the lecture.
Abstract:
The lecture sheds light on the events and circumstances that led to the reorganization of the Syriac Orthodox Church in the East (the Sasanian Empire) during the first half of the seventh century through the establishment of an ecclesiastical structure with a local head centered in Tikrit but with subordination to the ecclesiastical leadership in Antioch. This lecture aims to re-examine the course of events described in the sources (such as the Life of Mor Marutha, Chronicle of Michael the Syrian, Ecclesiastic Chronicle of Bar Hebraues, Chronicle of Siirt, etc.) through objective reading trying to distinguish between what actually might have happened from one side and anachronistic elements that were added later from other side.
About Fr. Iskandar Bcheiry:
Fr. Sharbel Iskandar Bcheiry, Metadata Editor at Atla, holds a Ph.D. in Church History from the Pontifical Oriental Institute, Rome, and another Ph.D. in World Christianity and Global Missions-Christian-Muslim Studies from the Lutheran School of Theology-Chicago. He has published a collection of books such as: "An Early Christian Reaction to Islam: Išū‘yhab III and the Muslim Arabs" in 2019 and "Hagiography, History, and Manuscript Culture: Studies in Syriac Christianity" in 2018. Fr. Bcheiry also published numerous articles on the history of Syriac Christianity and cataloged several collections of Syriac and Arabic manuscripts. He is a pioneer in studying and publishing an extensive collection of historical registers of church records, such as records of ecclesiastic ordinations, endowments, sacred places, and patriarchal annual dues. His current projects include surveying and mapping Syriac settlements and sacred places in Southeast Turkey. Fr. Sharbel Iskandar is also a Syriac Orthodox priest who has served the Syriac Orthodox church in Chicago for 18 years; he has five kids: three boys and two daughters.

For a long time, Syriac Orthodox Christians were religiously persecuted in Turkey. Now, more and more are returning to their historic homeland in the southeast of the country. Among them is a nun who wants to revitalize the village where she grew up.
Hatune Dogan, a Syriac Orthodox nun, was born in İzbırak in 1970. The 270 Christian families who still lived in the village back then later fled. That included Sister Hatune, who left her home in the 1980s with her parents and nine siblings. Southeastern Turkey was the scene of a military conflict between the Turkish army and Kurdish PKK militias - with Christians caught between the two sides.
Syriac Orthodox Christians in Turkey are believed to have been one of the earliest Christian communities. Over the centuries, the group - with its own customs and language - came under repeated attacks in a predominantly Muslim region. Most decided to flee.
Around 300,000 Syriac Orthodox Christians now live outside Turkey, primarily in Europe and the United States. Almost half of the diaspora has found a new home in Germany, like the Dogan family. Several years ago, Sister Hatune resolved to return to her home village of İzbırak to fulfill a promise to her dying father and renovate the old family home. She is determined to breathe new life into the village.
Simon Üzel was 17 years old when he and his family fled the Turkish village of Öğündük for southwest Germany in 1990. Now, he's among those contemplating a move back home. Whenever it feels safe to do so, he travels to his old village - a place that is never truly far from mind.

The Muslim Conquests were a turning point in history. Was God on their side or was there someone else helping them in their victories? Did everyone live under Islamic law? Did everyone live separately? Will Islam continue to evolve as Christianity and Judaism has?

Jeff Wickes, associate professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, focuses on the interplay between Syriac literature, theology, and liturgy in the context of late antique Christianity. Building projects that work from close readings of Syriac texts, he gravitates in his work towards larger questions of genre (especially poetry), religion, and theology as they play out within the historical horizons of late antique Christianity, and as those horizons meet our own in the contemporary world. His first two books focused on Syriac Christianity’s formative voice, Ephrem the Syrian, and sought to find the place where performative context and exegesis met in the space of Ephrem’s poetry. His current book turns to a range of Syriac hagiographical poems sung between the fourth and sixth centuries to ask questions around form, agency, time, and gender in late antique poetry and the cult of the saints. He comes to Notre Dame after nine years at Saint Louis University. Prior to that, he completed a PhD at the University of Notre Dame, an MA at St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Seminary, and a BA at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. His work has been supported by grants from, among others, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, the Mellon Foundation, and the Dolores Zorhab Liebmann Fund.

The Coptic Orthodox Church whose establishment is attributed to St. Mark the Apostle in the 1st century CE
The Coptic Orthodox Church (the term "Copt" comes from the Greek word “aegiptos,” meaning “Egyptian”), whose establishment is attributed to St. Mark the Apostle in the 1st century CE. Ancient Christian manuscripts were found in the Egyptian deserts indicating the beginning of Christian asceticism.
The compound at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher houses the seat of the Coptic Archbishop and three churches, the most important one of which is the Church of St. Antonius dating from the 3rd century. When Antonius, who founded Coptic the monastic movement, was alone in the desert Satan tried to tempt him.
When Satan attempted to remove his hat, which had been given to him by God as a symbol of his adherence to Christianity, the hat tore during the struggle. Antonius repaired the hat and since then Coptic monks have worn this distinctive hat with a prominent seam that divides the hat in two, as a constant reminder of the dangers of temptation and being distracted from God.
Beneath the compound is rooms dating from the Middle Ages and a large water cistern from the Byzantine period. The Copts have a chapel in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and several other buildings in the Christian Quarter.
At the entrance of the Patriarchate is St Helena's Coptic Orthodox Church in which is a large underground 4th-century cistern accessed by a staircase. This was discovered in the 4th Century by Constantine's mother Queen Helena and provides water to the Church of Holy Sepulchre.

The community is shrinking amid Israel's occupation, which it says makes even the most basic tasks difficult.

When someone is still alive
he has left this world:
though his bodily condition remains
with the world's bodily condition,
yet his spirit has been raised up towards You,
so that for a period of time
he is where he knows not,
being totally raptured and drawn towards You."
-- John of Apamea
Several scholars have made a convincing case that the Syriac mystics were a major influence upon early Sufism. And Sufism, as many know, has been an influence on the Sants of India. There is a demonstrable connection between East & West via several sources (Syriac mystics of the Church of the East in the Saint Thomas tradition, Mazdakism, Manichaeism and other schools of Gnosticism) and the Sant tradition of India.
Sebastian Brock, Scholar of Eastern Christianity and Aramaic-Syriac Saints, has translated many wonderful texts of Eastern Saints such as Isaac of Nineveh, Abdusho (Joseph the Visionary), John of Dalyatha, Abraham of Nathpar, Martyrius, Babai, Philoxenus of Mabbug, Aphrahat, Ephrem, John of Apamea, Jacob of Sarug, and others, in great books such as, The Syriac Fathers on Prayer and the Spiritual Life, The Wisdom of St. Isaac of Nineveh, A Garland of Hymns from the Early Church (including Odes of Solomon), The Luminous Eye, and several others.
"The text-book and pulpit notion that all Christendom is divided between Greek East and Latin West overlooks an ancient and still continuing third stream of tradition: Syriac Christianity.
"Cut off from the rest of the Christian world by theological controversy in the fifth century, Arab conquest in the seventh and Mongol invasions in the thirteenth, Syrian Christians continues to celebrate the Christian mysteries, to meditate on Scripture and to apply its teachings to their lives.
"Some of them, attempting to realise here on earth their baptismal potential to re-enter paradise, chose a life of asceticism and single-minded devotion to Christ. Their reflections created across the centuries a rich literature. Some passed into the byzantine tradition; some remained unknown to other Christians and have never until now been translated into a modern language.
"These Syriac fathers offer the modern heirs of both Latin and Greek Christendom new, yet ancient and enduring insights on prayer and the spiritual life." (The Syriac Fathers on Prayer and the Spiritual Life, by Professor Sebastian Brock of Oxford University)

📅 Please join us LIVE on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 10:00AM ET/8:30PM IST on Facebook/YouTube for an online lecture by Fr. Dr. Iskandar Bcheiry on the topic "Why and how was the Syriac Orthodox Maphrianate established in the East? A historical-critical approach to the sources." There will be a Q&A; session after the lecture.
Abstract:
The lecture sheds light on the events and circumstances that led to the reorganization of the Syriac Orthodox Church in the East (the Sasanian Empire) during the first half of the seventh century through the establishment of an ecclesiastical structure with a local head centered in Tikrit but with subordination to the ecclesiastical leadership in Antioch. This lecture aims to re-examine the course of events described in the sources (such as the Life of Mor Marutha, Chronicle of Michael the Syrian, Ecclesiastic Chronicle of Bar Hebraues, Chronicle of Siirt, etc.) through objective reading trying to distinguish between what actually might have happened from one side and anachronistic elements that were added later from other side.

For a long time, Syriac Orthodox Christians were religiously persecuted in Turkey. Now, more and more are returning to their historic homeland in the southeast of the country. Among them is a nun who wants to revitalize the village where she grew up.
Hatune Dogan, a Syriac Orthodox nun, was born in İzbırak in 1970. The 270 Christian families who still lived in the village back then later fled. That included Sister Hatune, who left her home in the 1980s with her parents and nine siblings. Southeastern Turkey was the scene of a military conflict between the Turkish army and Kurdish PKK militias - with Christians caught between the two sides.
Syriac Orthodox Christians in Turkey are believed to have been one of the earliest Christian communities. Over the centuries, the group - with its own customs and language - came under repeated attacks in a predominantly Muslim region. Most decided to flee.
Around 300,000 Syriac Orthodox Christians now live outside Turkey, primarily in Europe and the United States. Almost half of the diaspora has found a new home in Germany, like the Dogan family. Several years ago, Sister Hatune resolved to return to her home village of İzbırak to fulfill a promise to her dying father and renovate the old family home. She is determined to breathe new life into the village.
Simon Üzel was 17 years old when he and his family fled the Turkish village of Öğündük for southwest Germany in 1990. Now, he's among those contemplating a move back home. Whenever it feels safe to do so, he travels to his old village - a place that is never truly far from mind.

Syriac Christianity
Syriac Christianity (Syriac: ܡܫܝܚܝܘܬܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܬܐ / mšiḥāiūṯā suryāiṯā) encompasses the multiple Churches of Eastern Christianity whose services tend to feature liturgical use of ancient Syriac, a dialect of Middle Aramaic that emerged in Edessa in the early 1st century AD, and is closely related to the Aramaic of Jesus. Jesus Christ was known as Yešua` mšiḥā in Aramaic.
With a history going back to the 1st century AD, in modern times Syriac Christianity is represented by denominations primarily in the Middle East, Asia Minor and in Kerala, India.
Christianity began in the Middle East in Jerusalem among Jewish Aramaic-speaking Semitic peoples of Judah (modern Israel, Palestinian Territories and Jordan). It quickly spread, initially to other Semitic peoples, in Parthian-ruled Assyria and Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), Roman-ruled Syria (ancient Aramea), Phoenicia (modern Lebanon), southern and eastern Asia Minor (modern Turkey), and northwestern Persia (modern Iran) and Malta. From there it spread to Greece, Armenia, Egypt, Georgia, the Caucasus region and on into The Balkans, India, North Africa, Rome, Ethiopia, Nubia (modern Sudan) and Arabia, and eventually southern and western Europe.
