Mor Kuryakos Kilisesi

In addition to its resemblance to most village churches in Turabdin in terms of the church basic plan in Yemişli (Anhel) Village of Midyat, it contains some valuable works. In front of the church's narthex is a portico, which ends with a small beth slutho in the east. The front facade of this building, which is thought to be able to pray comfortably on hot summer days, emphasizes a horseshoe-shaped arch superimposed on the piers. A saint from the Middle Ages attributes the Church to Mor Şemun, the banister (olive) of the olive trees that died in 734. One of the rare examples of painted wooden carved altars from the 18th century is in Mor Kuryakos Church. It is believed that wooden altars set an example for stone altars that became widespread later. In Yemişli (Anhel), there are also Mor Kuryakos and Mor Eşayo Churches, as well as six other chapels dedicated to Mary, Saint Petrus and Paul, Eliyo, Şmuni, Gevergis and Zeytinci Şemun.
