St. Mark Syriac community choir
The small Syrian Orthodox community of Jerusalem may rightly claim to be the heir of the first Church of the Apostles. Using a dialect of Aramaic almost identical with the language spoken by Jesus and his disciples, and having kept, through two millenaria of trials, many Judaeo-Christian elements, particularly in liturgy, this heroic Church provides us with the closest possible image of the first Christian generations.
