Lonely Planet review for Meryem Ana Kilisesi

The wonderful Meryem Ana Kilisesi is still used by Orthodox Syrian Christians; they are Jacobites, or Monophysites, who refused to accept the doctrine laid down at the Council of Chalcedon in 451. This said that Jesus had two natures, being simultaneously fully divine and fully human - the Monophysites insisted he had only one divine nature. The church is beautifully maintained, although only about seven families still attend services.

You will have to hammer on the door as the custodian lives two courtyards away and may not hear you.
