"Ancient" Syriac bible found in Cyprus

I am a Syrian Orthodox Christian by birth/baptism (by belief..so far undecided...agnostic). In our churches we still use syriac as the worship language. I remember hearing from my elders that worship during their times or at the beginning of last century was quite tough physically...for example we have to say a word sounding like "Kuriyelaisaun" abnd bow our heads 3 times. In older times, when they say the word "Kuriyelaisaun", they had to get down on their knees and bow around 50 times and there were and still are no chairs in Syrian orthodox Churches....!!!

Those were originally written in Greek. Among some traditions, the Bible includes books that were not accepted in other traditions, often referred to as apocryphal. Eastern Orthodox Churches use all of the books that were incorporated into the Septuagint, to which they add the earliest Greek translat... [More]
