The account of the life of a saint is read as a lesson when that saint's day is celebrated in church. Each day of the year is marked in this synaxarion with red ink, and then follows a brief narrative for the particular saint or saints celebrated that day. The text is Garshuni (Arabic written in Syriac script). Garshuni Arabic is still in use among some Syriac Christian congregations.
