In all liturgical families, including the Syriac ones, the proclamation of the Word of God is an essential element of liturgical celebration. Although in the numerous communities sharing the same tradition of Antioch, Edessa and Nisibis the practice of reading from the Bible during the liturgy looks different there are some common elements. They include: a great respect for the Bible (the book seen as a monstrance), the readings taking place during the Liturgy of Catechumens; the division of readings from both the Old and New Testament into the psalmodic chants, the practice of reading the Gospel which is reserved strictly for the priest, the presence of the biblical poetry during the whole celebration. In this study, apart from the analysis of the essential elements of the Syriac Liturgy of the Word, the Author includes a brief introduction to the history and geography of the Syriac Churches and describes the historical place of the proclamation of the Bible, i.e. the bemā.
