Sebastian Brock presents here the Syriac text and English translation of the liturgy for the burial of nuns in the Syriac tradition. While manuscripts containing the burial liturgy for lay people, monks, and priests are quite common in the Syriac tradition, liturgies specific to holy women are quite rare.
