Assyrian traditions

Assyrian traditions are rooted in the ancient Mesopotamian culture, which flourished from around 2500 BC. Key aspects include a rich history of art, literature, and a unique language, Aramaic. Assyrians celebrate religious customs primarily within Christianity, honoring saints and the resurrection of Christ. Their festivals, such as the Assyrian New Year (Akitu), emphasize community, family, and cultural identity. Traditional music, dance, and foods, like pacha (a lamb dish), play crucial roles in gatherings. The Assyrian legacy also focuses on preservation of history and language amidst diaspora, fostering a strong sense of identity and continuity in modern communities.
