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.

“At length, having come up fifty rods off, he uttered one of those prolonged howls, as if calling on the god of loons to aid him, and immediately there came a wind from the east and rippled the surface, and filled the whole air with misty rain, and I was impressed as if it were the prayer of the loon answered, and his god was angry with me; and so I left him disappearing far away on the tumultuous surface.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You know how you smoke out a sniper? You send a guy out in the open, and you see if he gets shot. They thought that one up at West Point.”

—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
