A year was divided into eight weeks and each end of the eight weeks is the starter of the other period. During this eight weeks, many hymns and prayings are sung on the special days that the church decided. As each of the hymns and prayings time is known, their singins’ modes are known, too. There are many programme books which include hymns and praying that will be sung in a year in the Syriac Churches. The hymns and prayings in these books were classified according to their characteristic and were arranged. The two choir groups setted up around the tables on where the books included hymns and prayings are put, sing the hymns and prayings accross to each others. The Syriac Churches has maintaned their customery forming and trying to keep it live. While they are doing this, they do not press on the people living in the same area and they have lived according to their beliefs. As a nation, one of our main duty is not to leave Syrians who built their living on tolerant from their lands. IX
