Schema-Archimandrite Seraphim Bit-Kharibi

Christian mysticism · Aramaic Liturgical Chant

Assyrian Georgian monk, priest and liturgical singer, born on 12 July 1978 in Tbilisi, who leads the monastery at Kanda in Georgia, at the church of the Thirteen Assyrian Fathers. Aramaic is his mother tongue, and he celebrates and chants the Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom in it, one of very few priests anywhere who does. The Aramaic Assyrian liturgical line he carries is a tradition of its own, held within the Georgian Orthodox Church.
