Gives new meaning to the term "leather-bound Bible".

Does your Maronite Church offer any kind of instruction on reading Aramaic?

No. Our priest can read Aramaic but that's it. Those few chants we pray in that language are written phonetically. I believe there are some good internet sources for anyone interested in learning this ancient language.
