Notes

കിരീടം വാഴ്‌വ് : Crowning ceremony at Syro Malabar wedding. Sherin & Treesa

The revival of an old tradition in the Syro Malabar Church. The crowning ceremony with bilingual singing during the wedding of Sherin Joseph and Treesa David.

A grassroots level movement is gaining traction in the Syro Malabar Church to bring back the crowning ceremony as part of the wedding ritual. The younger generation of the Syro Malabar Church is taking the initiative, and their local Vicars are going along with it. The song that is part of the ceremony is in Malayalam, but the Syriac chant Bar Maryam is the tune. The performance practice is bilingual. The refrain is in Syriac and the strophes are in Malayalam. Bilingual singing, too, is a new development. It portends a positive trend for the future of the Syro Malabar liturgy and the Syriac tradition. The couple was kind enough to share their thoughts on camera. The comments are useful to researchers on Syro Malabar traditions. We are grateful to Denny Karamkunnel for sharing this video with us and doing the couple's interview. Denny was a server during the ceremony. see also Aramaic Project-171 https://youtu.be/fUlwMZh-s6c
