The Syriac Catholic Mar Behnam Monastery in Bakhdida has an inscription dating back to 1739 calling it an “Assyrian monastery”. Professor Amir Harrak from the University of Toronto presented this inscription in 2019.

Nineveh will always be our home❤️

🕯️August 7th Assyrian Martyr’s day🕯️

From Simele to Sayfo, from Urmia to Iraq to Tur Abdin our martyrs stood for faith, identity, and survival. Their sacrifice laid the foundation for the Assyrian-Syriac nation to endure.
We remember. We continue. ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܚܝܐ

@elsayedtarek046 She converted to Christianity after learning about the faith and choosing to follow Christ, even though she knew it could cost her everything. Why do you think her father beheaded her then? That doesn’t really add up if she stayed pagan.

[ܢܝܼܢܘܹܝܬ݂ܵܐ @Ninweetha]

Mart Barbara, born into a wealthy pagan family, secretly embraced Christianity. When her father discovered her faith, he imprisoned and tortured her. Refusing to renounce Christ, she was ultimately beheaded by her own father.
