Mor Behnam (Forty) Monastery

Another of the Syrian monasteries located in Mardin is the Mor Behnam Church of the Forty. Built in 539 AD, the monastery has two separate impressive stories. According to one of the stories, it was built in memory of Mor Behnam and his murdered brother after Mor Behnam was killed for taking his sick brother to Mor Matay. According to another story, it is known as the Church of the Forty because it is the burial place of the bones of 40 Christians who were killed during the Roman occupation. The church, which has been used by the Syrians as the Old Patriarchal Center since 1293, was used as a Syrian school between 1789 and 1928, as well as a church service.

Içerisinde fotoğraf çekilmesi yasak. Süryaniler için önemli bir kilise. Güzel bir bahçesi var. Içerisi de çok güzel. Görülmesi önerilir.

İnaçları yüzünden dönemin Romalı bir generali tarafından Mardin'den Sivas'a götürülüp kış ayında göle atılarak katledilen kırk insanın anısı üzerine yapılmış bir kilise . Yapısı son derece fantastik Mardin'e has yapı sanatı ile yapılmış. Gidilip gezilmesi gereken yerlerden bir yer . Es geçmeyin

Çok şirin, güzel bir kilise. Cok güzel bir bahçesi var. Çevresindeki bazı yapılar ev ve haliyle giriş izniniz yok. Dikkat etmenizi tavsiye ederim.

İbadet kısmında fotoğraf çekimi yasak. Çok eski bir kilise mardin de görülmesi gereken bir yer farkli kültürlerin yaşadığıni daha iyi anliyoruz.
