Because language is the most precious witness of the past and the most liable way to a valuable future; because language communicates the secrets and knowledge of society, its heritage and wisdom; because no society can survive without being able to express its own culture, values and aspirations in its own words, the Maronite Patriarchs were determined to protect their Syriac language. For them it was the expression of their culture, spirituality, faith and identity.
This importance was affirmed clearly by Patriarch Estéphanos Douayhi in the 17th century. He called the Syriac language a Mystery as an equivalent to the Mysteries of Christian dogma. For Christian theology, Mystery does not mean that faith and truths are contrary to intelligence and reason, but that they are beyond its limits.
So what the patriarch meant is that no words can express the importance of what we lose when we abandon our Syriac language.
