- The term 'Qurbana', is the direct Aramaic cognate with the Hebrew word Korban (קרבן). From the time when the Law of Moses was received on Mt. Sinai, until when the Temple last stood in Jerusalem in 70 CE, and sacrifices were still offered, "Korban" was a technical Hebrew term for the various offerings & sacrifices that were to be performed there by all observant Jews (cf. Book of Leviticus). [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korban]
Sung entirely in the East Syriac/Aramaic dialect -- on the one hand, it is of only slight difference to that spoken by Jesus (Yeshu/Isho), Mary (Maryam), and all the first disciples of the Church, while on the other, only barely preceding the mutually intelligible sister dialect that would be used for the compilation of the Talmud Bavli (Babylonian Talmud, c. 200-500 CE) in Rabbinic Judaism and further used onwards into the period of the Jewish Academies of the Babylonian Geonim (c. 800-1000 CE). This Holy Qurbana is traditionally attributed to Saint Addai, disciple of Saint Thomas the Apostle (Mar Thoma), and Saint Mari, a disciple of Saint Addai. One of the rarest liturgies in Christianity and the most evident in its Semitic and Jewish origin -- in part due to it having largely developed only outside the boundaries of the Byzantine Roman Empire and thus not subject to the Hellenisation that all other eastern Christian liturgies eventually underwent regardless of their antiquity, it is only used by the churches of the East Syrian tradition. These include the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church of India, the Chaldean Catholic Church, and the Assyrian Church of the East -- the last two being both found in Iraq and various territories of the former medieval Persian Empire.

Archimandrite Robert F. Taft S. J., Vice-Rector of the Pontifical Oriental Institute* explains its singularly unique origin:
"It was in these two cities, Antioch and Jerusalem, that Christian worship developed its finest symbolism. The West Syrian liturgy overflows with a wealth of poetic hymnology and symbolism. Its intensely human spirit reminds one of the spontaneity and drama of the Medieval West. But there is also a sense of mystery, a focus on the Second Coming, and the symbolism is directed at making this unutterable mystery felt. The East Syrian liturgy is the most primitive form of Catholic worship still used today. It evolved into its present form at an early date, beyond the Roman world, in small Christian communities where Jewish influence remained strong. It is a liturgy of great austerity and simplicity, with little rhetorical or ceremonial embellishment...In Persia, beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire, the Syrian tradition had a different history. Christianity first spread to the Persian Empire from Edessa in Mesopotamia, a daughter Church of Antioch and an important center of Semitic culture. Antioch, Alexandria and Jerusalem were Greek in language and culture during this formative period of the early Church, and Greek was their liturgical language. Coptic and Syriac were introduced later, as the Church spread to the hinterlands of Egypt and Syria and customs were remodelled under the influence of the monasteries and small villages. But the East Syrian or Chaldean Rite which took shape in the Church of Edessa at a very early date preserved the Semitic stamp of the first Jewish Churches. This tradition is found today among the Chaldeans and 'Nestorians' [ed. having since been vindicated of the label**] of the Middle East and, in a form extremely Latinized but now being restored, among the Malabarese Christians of India."

** In 1994, Mar Dinkha IV, Catholicos-Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, co-signed the "Common Christological Declaration between the Catholic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East" with Pope John Paul II. It affirmed the common understanding of the personhood of Jesus as taught at the First Council of Ephesus (431 CE), hence removing once and for all the charge of "Nestorian" that it had falsely been labelled with for centuries. It then further called on all parties to establish the necessary committees for the work of re-establishing full communion between the two churches. This process, having sadly been interrupted in a grave manner by the Iraq War of 2003 under President George W. Bush, has now only slowly started to regroup.

Beautiful...
Is the text available in East Syriac script (.pdf)?
Joseph Puthoor Assyrian Church of the East. This is the Assyrian dialect. We are not Chaldean and our beautiful Syriac language is not Chaldean.
@@BinaryTechnique Chaldeans also use eastern Syriac for the raza qurbana

In India, it is called Chaldean Church.
@Prasanth Thomas bro, I guess you are from Kerala and you belong to the syro malabar catholic church.

Is there an English version? At least a pdf?
You could ask me to translate it
Beautiful!!! but dont they use "amin" instead of "amEn"?
In the Chaldean dialect it's usually "amen".
Cole Webb Harter we are not Chaldeans and this dialect is northern Syriac also known as Assyrian. The church is Assyrian Church of the East.
Binary-Technique
The language is Aramaic, to be more specific, east-syriac..
But I can read out of your statement what prevents you from education and knowledge..
@@redfoxonalilypad3704 he is literally Assyrian how can we be uneducated about our own language?
@@BinaryTechnique
Chaldeans and Assyrians are pretty much the same people.
Chaldeans were the ones that reinstated the communion with the Catholic Church.
Why aren't you using *_Puqdanqon_* !?!?!!!!???
Puqdanqon is exclusive to the Malabar Church.
അത് നമ്മടെ സ്വന്തം! വേറെ ആർക്കും ഇല്ല! ഭാരതത്തിൽ ആണ് അത് കമ്പോസ് ചെയ്തത്!
But as well as I know Persians in other words Iranians never spoke or wrote in Aramaic , but Jews were speaking Aramaic in time of Jesus , and it's known Turkish christian texts in Aramaic and Syrian alphabet !
Dude what are you talking about??? We are not Persian and we're not Turkish. We are Assyrians who speak neo aramaic
1) this language is completely different from that spoken by Christ 2,000 years ago. There is no “slight” difference; the difference is massive. Not only is the dialect spoken by Christ a Western language of Aramaic, but the Aramaic spoken by these people has significant Akkadian influence and substratum whereas Western Aramaic does not.
2) the proper name for these people is Assyrian, not that bogus “Easy Syrian”
Terminology.
And what does this prove?
first you have to understand Christ spoke eastern Syriac
what do you know about syriac
@@secilrods5170 what proof do you have for your claim ? scholars that research first century Aramaic used in the land of Israel find that the Aramaic was influenced and mixed with Hebrew
1) This language isn't completely different from the language spoken by Christ. There are only some pronunciation differences(caused by the absence of vowels), differences in influence by foreign languages, and a few letters.
But majority of these differences were caused by the fact that the modern East Syriac survived way longer than the dialect of Aramaic spoken by Christ.
Also, who told you that Christ spoke Western Aramaic?
2) The proper terminology for these people is both Christianized Assyrians and East Syriac.
Stop faking our history. We are not Chaldeans. We are Assyrians and this is the Assyrian Church of the East.
Wrong we ran away from the heretical assyrian church of the east who followed nestorious. He didn't believe that christ is fully man and fully God.
Matt Matti You are Chaldean Catholic then?
@@mattmatti3525 You ran away from Nestorius only to worship Mary like a pagan 😂🤦♂️
@@BinaryTechnique I'd expect more from a protestant. We both know we don't worship Mary but venerate her, if you didn't know that it's no wonder you're still part of the heretical church of the east.
@@BinaryTechnique nestoriand are not true christians as you niece Christ nature's were brought together by will You shame the Theotokos!
