Videos Show Damage to Historic Iraqi Assyrian Church
Source excerpt
Videos circulating on social media this week appear to show extensive damage inside Mar Kiryakos Church in the village of Sharanish in Iraq’s Dohuk Governorate, prompting concern among Assyrians and other Christians over the fate of one of the area’s historic churches. The video shows disturbed pews, smashed items strewn about the floor, a large vase destroyed at the front of the building, and other signs of vandalism. According to research by International Christian Concern (ICC), the footage and accompanying photographs appear to have been posted by a visiting Chaldean priest currently living in Australia.
