Chaldean-Syriac-Assyrian Church of the East

The Chaldean-Syriac-Assyrian Church of the East is a Christian denomination rooted in the ancient traditions of the Assyrian people, primarily found in Iraq and surrounding regions. It emphasizes the importance of the early Christian teachings and uses the Aramaic language in its liturgy. The church has a distinctive theology and practices, such as its unique form of the Eucharist. In recent history, it has faced challenges due to conflicts in the Middle East, leading to a diaspora of its members globally while striving to maintain its cultural and religious identity.
