WCA Proclaims 'Aramean New Year' of 1 October as Aram Day, National Day of the Aramean People
Centuries-old Aramaic calendars and church books show that 1 October was celebrated as “the New Year of the Arameans.” On this day, our church fathers also decided to honor St. Aday (one of Jesus’ 72 disciples from Luke 10:1) for Christianizing the Arameans of Aram. As a means to preserve this ancient but meaningful tradition, and thus to help strengthen our collective identity, WCA has proclaimed the Aramean New Year of 1 October as Aram Day, as the National Day of the Aramean People.
