Thanks Paul, do we have any idea how old this portion of the liturgy is?

Shlama Akhi Michael,

???In 340 the Persian Shah Shapur informed church leaders they must pay the taxes they collect from Christians. When the Christian leader Shimon Bar Sabbae refused, he was summoned to the court and given a final chance to agree.

He again refused saying: "I am no tax-collector but ashepherd of the Lord???s flock." On Good Friday, 17 April 341, he and about 100 other Christians, including many clergy and some monks and nuns, were put to death. The long martyrdom of the Persian Christians had begun. This persecution lasted for almost forty years with scarcely any remission, and was borne with remarkable fortitude.???

I seem to recall that the "Liturgy of the Holy Apostles Mari and Addai" is the "oldest Liturgy in continuos use", and is dated around Ad 200.

The oldest known form that can be described as a complete liturgy is that of the Apostolic Constitutions, dated late 1st or early 2nd century. The Anaphora of the Apostles (also known as III Peter and by the Aramaic word Sharrar), and The Anaphora of the Signing of the Chalice on Good Friday, which derives from it, is still in use in both the Maronite Church and the Church of Edessa. They are the oldest Anaphora still in use today.

Keep in mind also that the liturgy of Addai and Mari is the core of the worship service every week. These days set aside for Martyrs, etc., were instituted later in time obviously.

In other words, there is always a fixed portion of the liturgy every week (that of Mari and Addai, known by the Maronites as well, the oldest liturgy still in use anywhere by anyone) - and there are weekly readings for days of commemoration like that of Mar Shimon bar-Sabbae which are of course later.

For instance, we have since the assassination/martyrdom of the Patriarch Mar Benyamin in 1915 instituted a commemoration day for him in the liturgical cycle.
