The Holy Mysteries
In the Church of the East, the sacraments are called raze, “mysteries”: holy signs through which God gives His hidden grace. Mar Abdisho of Nisibis (d. 1318), in his Book of the Pearl (Marganitha), lists them as seven:
Priesthood
The ministry handed on from the apostles, through which all the other mysteries are celebrated.
Holy Baptism
Our new birth by water and the Spirit into the life of Christ.
Holy Oil
The oil of anointing that seals and protects those who have been made new in Christ.
Holy Qurbana
The offering of the Body and Blood of Christ, celebrated in the Liturgy of Mar Addai and Mar Mari.
Absolution
The forgiveness of sins, by which the repentant are reconciled to God and to His Church.
Holy Leaven (Malka)
The holy leaven renewed in the bread of the Qurbana, which the Church of the East treasures as a link with the earliest days of the faith.
Sign of the Cross
The sign of the life-giving Cross, by which the faithful are kept and all the mysteries are sealed.
Why we keep the faith unchanged
According to ancient tradition, this faith and this liturgy came to our forefathers from the apostles themselves: St. Thomas sent Mar Addai, and Mar Addai’s disciple Mar Mari carried the faith across Mesopotamia. Through centuries of persecution and exile, our fathers and mothers guarded it faithfully and passed it on, prayer for prayer.
That is why the liturgy is not ours to change. When we pray the Qurbana of Addai and Mari, we pray with the same words and the same faith as the generations before us, all the way back to the apostles. Keeping it whole is how we stay one family with them. Our task is simply to receive it with love and hand it on to our children unchanged.
“Stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught” (2 Thessalonians 2:15).
