Luke 22:19–20 in Chaldean Aramaic ✝️
In the beautiful voice of our beloved Father David Nas from Belgium. 🙏
“And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’”
“In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.’”

Chaldean priests of Iraq
Many Chaldeans around the world no longer live in their homeland, leading some to believe that the Chaldean population in Iraq is very small.
This picture represents more than just clergy and priests - it represents Chaldean life in Iraq, our parishes and villages, and the Chaldean people who continue to live in our ancestral homeland.

Tel Keppe Heritage House: The First Museum in Tel Keppe - When Memory Becomes a Place
In the heart of Tel Keppe, the unique and diverse Tel Keppe Heritage House preserves the surviving features of this ancient town while reintroducing its rich heritage to new generations and visitors.
#chaldean #chaldeans
The idea behind the Heritage House was not simply to create a traditional museum. It arose from the belief that heritage is more than a collection of old objects to be preserved; it is the memory of a community, the history of a town, and the story of the people who lived on this land and left a part of their lives within it.
This mission has become even more important in light of the hardships endured by the people of Nineveh over the years, including violence, displacement, and the loss of many pieces of their collective memory. Preserving what remains of this heritage has therefore become a responsibility that extends beyond the boundaries of a single place - it is a responsibility to memory, identity, and history.

The ancient Chaldean villages surrounding Mosul - such as Tel Keppe, Batnaya, Tesqopa and Alqosh - stand among the oldest surviving centers of Christianity in the world.
For centuries, their churches, monasteries, and shrines preserved the Chaldean Christian faith and traditions with Chaldean communities whose roots reach back to the earliest centuries of Christianity.
Together, these villages form the historic Chaldean heartland of the Nineveh Plains and remain living witnesses to Iraq’s ancient Christian heritage.

Iraq is home to the oldest continuous Christian community in the world.
Iraqi Christians, specifically Chaldeans, are the direct descendants of the ancient peoples of Mesopotamia - Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and Chaldea.
For nearly 2000 years, they have preserved the faith, language, traditions, and identity of the very land where civilization was born.
Their language, Chaldean-Aramaic, remains one of the oldest languages and a direct link to the world of the early Church.
The story of Christianity in Iraq is an ancient one of profound sacrifice and unbreakable faith.
