The Holy Qurbana is the Eucharistic Liturgy of St. Addai, a disciple of Saint Thomas the Apostle, and St. Mari. It is an East Syriac Rite and used by the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, which was founded in southern India by St. Thomas the Apostle and since spread throughout the world..
Another highlight: hymn during Holy Communion “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence”. Although in modern times we sing it to a French melody written in the 17th Century, the words of this hymn date to about 275 A.D. The words are integral to some Eastern Church Liturgies.
