A Season of Gratitude

The holiday season is a time where many people have a whirlwind of emotions. Over the two or so months, there are a variety of holidays from Thanksgiving to Hanukkah, to Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Oftentimes, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year, and how we’ve gotten to this point. Feelings of gratitude always seem to revolve around the holiday season.

Deck the Halls

The holiday season always brings cheer and joy to those who celebrate. Festive outings, meals with loved ones, and joyful gatherings fill the coming months. One of the best parts of the season is making cherished memories with family. A great way to do that is by finding fun activities and places to visit that spread holiday cheer. Christmas shopping, visiting light displays, taking the kids to see Santa, and caroling are just a few traditions that help make the season so special.

Shall This Nation Die?

In 1915, before the word genocide existed, the people of the Ottoman borders already lived its meaning. Armenians, Assyrians, and Chaldeans were driven from their homes, pushed into the desert, and slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands. Out of that darkness rose one Chaldean priest’s question, “Shall this nation die?”

Wrapped With Love

Long before the holiday music plays and the last gift is wrapped, a small army of volunteers gathers in a Macomb County space to sort, wrap, and organize presents. Each package is assembled with care so that a child in foster care will open something personal and know they are not forgotten. For nearly 20 years, that work has been centered around one woman and a simple promise: to make sure no child in foster care goes without at Christmas.

Echoes of Ancient Gates

The history of doors in ancient civilizations—and especially in the Middle East—is remarkable. Gates and wooden doors have existed since the dawn of civilization. According to the Bible, King Solomon commissioned olive wood doors for his temple. Ancient Mesopotamians and Egyptians also used wooden doors in their homes and temples.

Telleskuf: Between Past and Present

Telleskuf (Tel Keppe) is a Chaldean name composed of two parts: Tella Zqeepa — Tella meaning “hill” and Zqeepa meaning “upright” or “cross.” The town’s origins date to the mid–second millennium B.C. Ancient manuscripts reference Telleskuf. In the archives of the Chaldean Diocese of Kirkuk, there is a manuscript written in 1582 by Abraham bin Bid‘a of Telleskuf.
