Notes

Bilingual Qurbana at Ukranian Cathedral, London

Festival of Eastern Catholic Churches. Ukranian Catholic Cathedral, Central London, UK. 1 August 2015. Celebrant: Dr. Joseph J. Palackal, CMI. Homilist: Fr. Lonappan Arangassery. Bilingual Qurbana in English and Syriac. Special guest: Bishop Hlib Lonchyna, Bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Special thanks to Dr. Martin Antony.

It was, indeed, an honor to receive an invitation to celebrate Syro Malabar Qurbana at the historic cathedral of the Ukranian Catholic Church in Central London. The occasion was the Festival of Eastern Catholic Churches. Bishop Hlib gave us a warm welcome. Beside the Qurbana, the program for the day included the screening of my DVD, Kerala: the Cradle of Christianity in India. I was invited to make a presentation on the Syriac heritage of the St. Thomas Christians in India. We decided to sing two Syriac chants during Qurbana. This was the first time the sound of this ancient language reverberated inside the wall of this great Church. It was a new experience for the parishioners
