The Rogation of the Ninevites is properly an East Syriac observance and its keeping by West Syriac Christians in Iraq and Syria is a regional inheritance rather than a rubric. Syriac Catholics observe it strictly. The Qurbono itself follows the Anaphora of Saint James with a rotation of alternative anaphoras, chanted in the eight modes catalogued in the Beth Gazo, in Syriac with Arabic increasingly carrying the readings and the homily. Diaspora parishes in Sweden, Germany, the United States, Canada and Australia now hold a large share of the church, and the language question there is the same one the Syriac Orthodox face.
