Our Father in Aramaic

The Our Father is the prayer of Christians since Jesus taught it to his disciples. Praised throughout the world and translated into all languages, there is a particularly moving version: the Aramaic version. In fact, it is in this language that Christ gave it to us 21 centuries ago. Speaking of which, it is still the version most used by the Chaldean church.
