人口
據敘利亞人口中央統計局統計,馬盧拉2004年人口2,762人。[1]但是大馬士革人口來度假的緣故,夏天人口增加到約10,000。[5]馬盧拉半個世紀前居住人口15.000。[6]
人口按宗教信仰包括基督教徒(主要是東正教和默基特禮天主教)和穆斯林。穆斯林教徒的遺產並無亞拉伯化特別引人注目,因為大多數其他敘利亞人也皈依伊斯蘭教多個世紀,卻受到阿拉伯語影響轉向阿拉伯人種族認同。[7]
語言
它和兩個鄰近城鎮亞-撒哈拉(阿拉伯語:(الصرخه (بخعة)和賈比亞丁(阿拉伯語:جبّعدين),是僅有還在說亞拉姆語西支方言的地區。學術確認耶穌之亞拉姆語也屬於這一分支。因此Ma'loula代表一世紀亞拉姆語,即是耶穌自己的亞拉姆語,人類語言學研究的重要來源。但這不完全等同拿撒勒之耶穌一世紀早期所說的方言,媒體經常誤讀這點。[8]和其他主城的距離加上孤立的地理位置,保證了這塊語言綠洲超過1500年的長壽。然而現代道路交通,以及阿拉伯語電視和印刷媒體-以及最近一段時間的國家政策-侵蝕這這些語言遺產。
修道院
There are two important monasteries in Ma'loula: Greek Catholic Mar Sarkis and Greek Orthodox Mar Thecla.
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.
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.
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.
