Yes. We call the Genocide "Seyfo", "Year of the Sword". The migration in the mid-20th century was mostly because of being stuck in the middle of clashing Turks and Kurds (PKK) I believe.

It's so unusual for something like this to happen in Sweden (Syriac Orthodox have live in Sweden for almost 50 years now and this hasn't happened before). The cloud on the first day, if it was just a normal cloud at that place, at that time, etc. then that would be a huge coincidence. The photo...

I also saw it earlier today. Thank you! :)

i50.tinypic.com/2r3cxlc.jpg St Gabriel, maybe the most popular Syriac saint of the Syriac church (he’s up there with St Ephrem the Syrian), was born in 594 in Beth-Qustan in Tur Abdin. His family was Christian and as a child he performed very well in school and because of his good behavior he...

We remember the Syriac/Assyrian Genocide (Seyfo - Year of the Sword) as well.

Qom Moran men qabro! Shariroith qom! = Christ is Risen! Truly, He is Risen! (in Syriac)

Yeah, they changed to the Gregorian calendar in 1953. The main church's Christmas dates are also by the Gregorian calendar. The Great Lent and Week of Passion, however, are by the Julian calendar.

Why do our patriarchs all bear "Ignatius" in their name? St Ignatius I Nurono (the Illuminator) was born in 35 AD in Antioch and was the third patriarch of Antioch. There are sources who say that St Peter himself chose St Ignatius as his successor before going to Rome. St Peter actually...

It's the Indian part of the church so I'm no expert but... Much later (20th century)... So basically one group acknowledges the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch as the primate (your first link) while another acknowledges the Catholicos of the East as the primate (your second link). I'm sure...

I will focus on the Mesopotamian/Middle Eastern part of the church here and not the one in India which is also part of the whole. First of all, the church has little to do with modern Syria (the Syrian Arab Republic, country since 1936) and most of its population, even though a good chunk of...
