Suriyani Qurbana, Traditional Syro Malabar Divine Liturgy

Unlike other posts here of the Holy Qurbana of Addai and Mari, this one is the Traditional Holy Qurbana of the Syro Malabar Catholics prior to 1962. The Suriyani Qurbana is being Chanted not just in Syriac, the Liturgical Language of Eastern Churches under the Antiochian and Syro-Oriental Rite. This Divine Liturgy of East Syrian source was restored by His Holiness Pope Pius XII in 1957. This one is celebrated in 50:50 Formula, by which the Priest first is facing the People at the Liturgy of the Word but when the Eucharistic Liturgy and Anaphora comes, he will be Ad Orientem facing the Liturgical East. Malayalam was only used in the Suriyani Qurbana in 1962

Hierarchial Syro Malabar Catholic Holy Qurbana

  

Above is a fine example of a Hierarchial Holy Qurbana celebrated by a Syro Malabar Catholic Hierarch in India. On this Eastern Rite Liturgy, notice that the Eparch use his Crozier, Mitre and even a Blessing Cross, though at this Video we see that the Bishop does not have any Hand Cross, signifying the fact that half of the Syro Malabar Hierarchs are still Latinized. The only difference it had on the Holy Qurbana celebrated by a Priest is that the words in the Prayers of Altar Assistants changes, to denote that the Syro Malabar Liturgy is celebrated by a Bishop. One known Eastern Rite custom shown here is the Concelebration between the Eparch and his Priest and the Chanting of some Prayers in the Holy Qurbana in the Liturgical Language of the Syro Malabar Catholic Church, which is Malayalam.
