Abstract
The Devine Liturgy or Kurbana (Offering) of the Syro Malabar Church is the most ancient form of Christian worship known in India. The Main part of Kurbana consists three parts. The first part is the Liturgy of the word and the Pre anaphoral portion with its joyous hymns, prayers, readings and movements corresponds to the public life and teachings of Christ. The second part namely the anaphoral part is composed of solemn Eucharistic prayers, commemorations and supplications. The third portion begins with the fraction and consignation(post anaphoral). Its prayers and symbolic gestures rouse in us feelings of hope in our resurrection and of inheritance of a new life in the Kingdome of Christ for ever.
