Syriac Christianity

Syriac Christianity refers to the Christian traditions and communities that originated in the region around Syria and Mesopotamia, particularly using the Syriac language, a dialect of Aramaic. It encompasses various groups, including the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Assyrian Church of the East, and others. These communities have a rich heritage of theology, liturgy, and literature, influenced by early church fathers. Historically significant, they played a key role in the spread of Christianity and often faced persecution. Today, Syriac Christians continue to preserve their unique cultural identity and practices while navigating modern challenges.
