Syriac Liturgy in India

Více o knize

The book explores the rich liturgical traditions of the Syriac Christians in Kerala, known as St Thomas Christians, who trace their evangelization to the apostle Thomas. It details their historical ties to Mesopotamian Syriac Christianity and the evolution of their liturgical practices, including the adoption of East and West Syriac liturgies. The text highlights the translation of liturgical texts into regional languages and examines the distinct forms within the Eastern-Catholic and Orthodox communities, particularly the Marthoma liturgy's reformation.
