The next time you hear "Assyrian Christian", I want you to wrap your head around how old this nation is. Today Assyrians celebrate Kha b'Nisan, the Assyrian New Year, marking 6776 years of existence. The First of April, or Nisan in Aramaic, is derived from the Akkadian word Nisanu. It translates into "beginning" or "first". And that is no coincidence. Assyrians are the indigenous people of Mesopotamia. Many, from Kurds to Arabs, deny this reality. They divide them by Church. They call them Arab Christians. They call them Kurdish Christians. Yet they are older than Aramaic! They are older than every tourist which occupies their land. Older than the Bible. Older than the Jews. Assyrian culture existed for thousands of years before Moses. Abraham himself came from Mesopotamia! The Assyrian New Year festival is traced back to ancient tradition. People think of Assyrians today as ancient Christians. It's true, but the history is deeper. When Jewish families celebrate Passover, they are observing a calendar inherited from Mesopotamia. By the culture & civilization where "it" began. Every empire that ruled Mesopotamia — Persian, Greek, Roman, Arab, Mongol, Ottoman — tried to write Assyrians out of history. AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING. (You'll see what I mean in the comments!). Yet April 1 is a reminder. They are dwindled in number & weakened today. But they EXIST. Existence is not a given. It's getting harder & less probable. They are holding on to their culture by every last breath. As much as EVERY force of evil tries to wipe their legacy away. ܫܢܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ — Happy New Year
