The Anaphora of the Twelve Apostles is an ancient anaphora (from Gr. ''αναφορά'', i.e. ''offering to God'')of the Antiochene Rite, seen by some scholars as a precursor to the [[Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom]]. It is still used in the [[Syriac Orthodox Church]]. Scholarly research suggests that, together with the [[Liturgy of St. James]], and the [[Liturgy of St. Mark]], this is one of the most ancient liturgical texts. In all probability, it, together with the [[Liturgy of St. Basil]], formed the basis for the liturgy composed by John Chrysostom; its use within the Orthodox church it can be reasonably assumed continued for at least a few decades afterwards, given that the Syriac Orthodox never ceased using it, and continue to use it, alongside their recension of the anaphora of St. John Chrysostom.
