“Located 50 km from Damascus is the magnificent village of Maalula, Syria. Maalula is the only place in the world that still speaks Aramaic, the language of Jesus.
Maalula is a predominantly Christian village. It is the home of two ancient Christian monasteries: Mar Sarkis and Mar Taqla. Both Christians and Muslim pilgrims come to Maalula seeking blessings.
Maalula means "the entrance" in Aramaic, referring to its dramatic location at the entrance to a rocky gorge. In addition to its important monasteries, the village is an attraction in itself: visitors invariably remark on the unique feeling of living history and the suspension of time in Maalula.” www.sacred-destinations.com
