Bartholomew Leon, Administrator, February 11, 2018 [email protected] Pastor’s Advisory Council Ramiz Askar, Marlene Saad Secretary Richard Sleiman, Chairman Sunday of the Miracle at Cana Paul Sleiman, Linda Wickett, Entrance into Great Lent Jack Yacu Finance Committee A great banquet requires great planning. Anyone who George Azan, Joseph Chebeir, Chairman hosts guests knows the anxiety of arranging a perfect Tony Sleiman, Paula Howard-Casby party. In today’s reading from Gospel, Jesus saves the hosting couple from utter embarrassment at their own Administration wedding when they run out of wine – the main drink of Richard, Wickett, Financial Secretary the day. In His mercy, Christ performs His first miracle by turning six huge jars of water into wine – and not Joseph Chebeir, Scott Herr, just any wine, but the best vintage. While it might seem Administrative Assistants to the Pastor strange that we commemorate a party before the start of the fasting of Lent it is no accident. The following Sundays of the Lent all commemorate the merciful acts of our Lord, the Lover of Mankind, on those whom He takes pity (such as the Leper next week, Mark 1:35-43). Each merciful act of Christ in healing the sick and suffering reveals to humanity that He is the Divine Physician Who has come to heal our souls and bodies.

    A Syriac Poetic Eulogy for St. Gregorios of Parumala Dr

    1 A Syriac Poetic Eulogy for St. Gregorios of Parumala Dr. Meledath Kurian Thomas [email protected] Photograph of St. Gregorios of Parumala Funeral of St. Gregorios of Parumala - 1902 Taken for the Travancore Government - 1901 Dr. J.J. van Ginkel, affiliated fellow, faculty of humanities, Leiden Institute for Area Studies, the Netherlands, presented an interesting paper in the Eight World Syriac Conference held at Kottayam, India from 8 th to 16 th September 2014. The paper was titled as “A poetic Eulogy from Kharpat for Geevarghese Mar Gregorios (‘Parumala Thirumani’); reflections on the relations with and knowledge of Indian Syriac Church in the Middle East around 1900.” As the title indicates, it was about Metropolitan Geevarghese Mar Gregorios of Niranam, Kollam & Thumpamon dioceses of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church; popularly known as ‘Parumala Thirumani’ , the first Indian canonized Saint. The theme of his paper was about a eulogy written by Mar Dionysius ‘Abd an-Nur Aslan, West Syriac metropolitan of Harput, Homs and Diyarbekir for Parumala Thirumani around the time of the latter’s demise. Before entering into the topic under discussion, here is the brief life sketch of St. Gregorios of Parumala. St. Gregorios of Parumala was born on 15 June 1848 AD at Mulamthuruthy, Ernakulam district, Kerala, India. He received his minor order of deacon ( Korooyo ) on 26 September 1858 AD from Palakkunnath Mar Mathews Athanasios, Malankara Metropolitan and becomes a full deacon in 1864 AD by West Syrian bishop Yooyakkim Mar Coorilos. In the same year he was ordained as a priest by Palakkunnath Mar Mathews Athanasios followed by the elevation as Cor-Episcopus by Yooyakkim Mar Coorilos.

He fled from having to announce the dread and awful message to the Ninevites, and from being subsequently, if the city was saved by repentance, convicted of falsehood: not that he was displeased at the salvation of the wicked, but he was ashamed of being made an instrument of falsehood, and exceedingly zealous for the credit of prophecy, which was in danger of being destroyed in his person, since most men are unable to penetrate the depth of the Divine dispensation in such cases.

  • East Syriac Liturgical Poetry of the St Thomas Christians

    East Syriac Liturgical Poetry of the St Thomas Christians

    East Syriac Liturgical Poetry of the St Thomas Christians Joseph Alencherry The uniqueness of early Syriac literature is its poetry. It is in the liturgical tradition that Syriac poetry has found its finest expression. Since the St Thomas Christians of Malabar followed the East Syriac liturgy from time immemorial, the early history of their liturgical poetry and music goes hand in hand with the liturgical heritage of the Church of the East. The article develops this argument in two parts: the first part expounds the development of liturgical poetry in the East Syriac tradition from a historical perspective and the second part analyses the chanting system from a liturgical and musical perspective. The state of affairs of the liturgical music after the 17th century following the Latin contact and the development of Christian folk art forms are not part of our discussion. The basic liturgical text of reference is the Ḥudrā, with its Catholic (HB) and non-Catholic editions (HD).1 The present Syro-Malabar ‘breviary’ (an abbreviated form of Ḥudrā for the daily Liturgy of Hours) is also used as a primary source.2 Part One: History of East Syriac Liturgical Poetry 1.1 Early Liturgical Poetry Syriac poetic form is based on syllable count, and not length. We have no trace of evidence that the early Syriac poetry in Odes of Solomon and in Acts of Thomas were used in liturgy. The Odes of Solomon is not syllabic, but is described as a zmirtā, ‘song’. The interpolation of ‘h(alleluiah)’ at the middle as well as the end of each Ode in the later manuscripts indicates that they were adapted, in the manner of Psalms, to the liturgical chant.
