East and West Syriac Traditions
The East Syriac, or Chaldean, Rite was associated with the historical Church of the East, centered in the Persian capital of Seleucia-Ctesiphon. Today the Holy Qurbana of Addai and Mari is used in the Ancient Church of the East, Assyrian Church of the East, the Chaldean Church, and the Syro-Malabar Church of Kerala, India.
The West Syrian rite was associated with the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch, also known as the Monophysite or Jacobite Church. Today the Liturgy of Saint James is used in the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Maronite Church, the Syriac Catholic Church, and many churches of the Malankara tradition in India, including the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar, Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, and the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church.
