Syriac Christianity is a branch of Christianity that originated in the ancient region of Syria and the surrounding areas. It is characterized by its use of the Syriac language, a dialect of Aramaic, in liturgy and religious texts. The tradition has deep roots in the early Christian church and has contributed significantly to Christian theology, literature, and art. The Syriac Orthodox Church and the Assyrian Church of the East are two prominent denominations within Syriac Christianity. These churches maintain unique rituals and beliefs, often emphasizing the importance of the early church fathers and the rich heritage of the Syriac culture. Today, Syriac Christians can be found in various countries, preserving their traditions and faith.
