Syriac Christians
Syriac Christians are members of ancient Christian communities originating in the Middle East, particularly in regions like Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. They follow rites rooted in Eastern Christianity and speak or historically spoke Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic—the language ancient Jesus spoke. These communities have a rich religious and cultural heritage, including unique liturgical traditions, music, and art. Despite facing challenges and diaspora, Syriac Christians maintain their faith, identity, and connection to early Christian history, contributing significantly to the spiritual and cultural landscape of the Middle East.
