St. Dimet, Zaz, 1990s

St. Dimet Syriac Orthodox Church in the village of Zaz, in Tur Abdin. Monk Yakub is seen here with three young men, likely in the 1990s. A notable feature in this photograph is the interior partition wall, traditionally used to separate men and women during worship, a strong liturgical custom within the Syriac Orthodox church.
