Lord's Prayer in Aramaic



This young man makes silver jewelry. He's from Midyat but now lives in Gaziantep. We first met him when he was doing jewelry making demonstrations in the Glass Museum. He then opened his own shop in a newly renovated Bedestan across from Gaziantp's most famous kebab restaurant. He is a member of the Syriac Christian church whose liturgical language is Aramaic. He was kind enough to recite the Lord's Prayer for us in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke.
