The Assyrian Orthodox Church of The Virgin Mary
Today’s Assyrian Orthodox Church of The Virgin Mary dates its history back to the 3rd century in southeastern Turkey, where Diyarbakir St. Mary Church has been a surviving landmark of Syriac history, tradition, and culture. Over the years, this church of ours has contained valuable literature, books, pictures, and even a piece of wood from the Cross, on which Jesus himself was crucified.
