Mar Awdishu Monastery, Tal - Mar Evdişo Manastırı, Oğul

The village of Be-Ikta, in the Tal valley, is also known as Be-Banaye ("the place of the builders"). Prior to 1915 this was a purely Assyrian settlement home to about 20 households with an ancient church dedicated to Mar Shim'on Bar-Sabba'e, a martyred 4th century Catholicos-Patriarch of the Church of the East. In 1935 the Assyrians of Be-Ikta were resettled along the banks of the Khabur River in Syria, in the village of Tell-Tal.
