Assyrian Christianity

Assyrian Christianity refers to the beliefs and practices of the Assyrian people, an ethnic group with roots in ancient Mesopotamia, who primarily follow the Church of the East and various other Christian denominations. This form of Christianity has a rich heritage, emphasizing liturgical traditions, a distinct theology rooted in early Christianity, and the use of the Syriac language in worship. Assyrian Christians historically faced persecution and challenges, especially in the modern Middle East, leading to diaspora communities around the world. Their identity combines both cultural and religious elements, preserving a unique Christian tradition over centuries.
