人口
编辑据叙利亚人口中央统计局统计,马卢拉2004年人口2,762人。[1]但是大马士革人口来度假的缘故,夏天人口增加到约10,000。[5]马卢拉半个世纪前居住人口15.000。[6]
人口按宗教信仰包括基督教徒(主要是东正教和默基特礼天主教)和穆斯林。穆斯林教徒的遗产并无亚拉伯化特别引人注目,因为大多数其他叙利亚人也皈依伊斯兰教多个世纪,却受到阿拉伯语影响转向阿拉伯人种族认同。[7]
语言
编辑它和两个邻近城镇亚-撒哈拉(阿拉伯语:(الصرخه (بخعة)和贾比亚丁(阿拉伯语:جبّعدين),是仅有还在说亚拉姆语西支方言的地区。学术确认耶稣之亚拉姆语也属于这一分支。因此Ma'loula代表一世纪亚拉姆语,即是耶稣自己的亚拉姆语,人类语言学研究的重要来源。但这不完全等同拿撒勒之耶稣一世纪早期所说的方言,媒体经常误读这点。[8]和其他主城的距离加上孤立的地理位置,保证了这块语言绿洲超过1500年的长寿。然而现代道路交通,以及阿拉伯语电视和印刷媒体-以及最近一段时间的国家政策-侵蚀这这些语言遗产。
修道院
编辑There are two important monasteries in Ma'loula: Greek Catholic Mar Sarkis and Greek Orthodox Mar Thecla.
Mar Sarkis
编辑One of the oldest surviving monasteries in Syria. It was built on the site of a pagan temple, and has elements which go back to the fifth to sixth century Byzantine period.[9] Mar Sarkis is the Arabic name for Saint Sergius, an Roman soldier who was executed for his Christian beliefs. This monastery still maintains its solemn historical character. Mar Sarkis has two of the oldest icons in the world, one depicting the Last Supper.
Mar Taqla
编辑This monastery holds the remains of St Taqla (Thecla), which the second-century Acts of Paul and Thecla accounts a noble virgin and pupil of St. Paul. According to later legend not in the Acts, Taqla was being pursued by soldiers of her father to capture her because of her Christian faith. She came upon a mountain, and after praying, the mountain split open and let her escape through. The town gets its name from this gap or entrance in the mountain. However, there are many variations to this story among the residents of Ma'loula.
Other monasteries
编辑There are also the remains of numerous monasteries, convents, churches, shrines and sanctuaries. There are some that lie in ruins, while others continue to stand, defying age. Many pilgrims come to Ma'loula, both Muslim and Christian, and they go there to gain blessings and make offerings.
叙利亚内战
编辑2013年10月21日,反政府武装攻占马卢拉。[11]10月28日被政府军收复。[11]
努斯拉阵线于2013年12月3日再度攻占马卢拉。[12]2014年4月14日,叙军在真主党的帮助下收复马卢拉。[13][14]
