Aramaic Calligraphy

Artwork created by an Iranian family, children ages 6, 10, and 11, and their mother. Their father led a full Mass in Aramaic for hundreds of people at one of the Aramaic based churches in Chicago, where a strong Aramaic-speaking community has formed, allowing their children to grow up speaking the language and staying connected to their cultural traditions.
