Mama mia! I can't believe this thread is still running.

The first two are accounted for in the Protoevangelium of James which is early 2nd century.

Back in 2005, someone posted it to the FR Religion Forum. Sometimes it's fun to resurrect old threads. Here it is:

The Protoevangelium of James

NYer hears the words of the consecration in the very language Christ spoke them in at Maronite Liturgies.

There are at least 3 Eastern Catholic Churches that retain Aramaic for the Words of Institution. Here is the transliterated text for the Consecration of the Bread. To hear the priest chant this each week, is like being at the Last Supper.


Aramaic Consecration

Byow mo how daq dom ha sho dee leh
ma' bed hy eh
nsa bel lah mo be dow qa dee sho to.
Ou ba rekh
ou qa desh
waq so
ou ya bel tal mee dow kad o mar:
Sab a khool meh neh kul khoon:
Ho no den ee tow faghro deel
day lo fy koun wah lof sagee hey
meh teq seh ou meh tee heb
lhoo so yo dhow beh was ha yeh dal 'o lam
'ol meen.

English Translation

On the day before his life-giving passion,
Jesus took bread in his holy hands.
He blessed,
sanctified,
broke,
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take and eat it, all of you:
This is my body
which is broken and delivered for you
and for many,
for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

It's similar to the old "Neverending" thread in that the current discussion(s) have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. :)
