Marhaba is an Arabic word used in the Middle East as a greeting (in English Hello).
The origin of the word comes from Aramaic, the old Syrian language of Jesus Christ.
It is a combination of two words: MAR + HABA
MAR, meaning God, Lord or Master.
HABA, meaning Love.
So, Marhaba means "God is Love".
The following is the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, recited by Majida El-Roumi:
Marhaba Ron
May you celebrate the love of God deep within your heart as Jesus brings new meaning to life... Joy, Hope, Peace... because His love is eternal.
May His eternal love shine upon you always!
Nabeel
In this old world that we live in
There is one great joy that everyone can share,
The joy of giving to the
People for whom we care;
If you show love in small ways
It is always there.
To be giving and forgiving
Is to know the reason why we're living.
What's so hard about giving?
It's a perfectly simple art
The trick is to live with love from the start
And to give with an open heart.
Dear Ron
May your Christmas be as special and unique as you are!
Nabeel
