That is a heart warming and beautiful picture, thanks!

Do you know the name of it? I'd like to save/share it.

It is called Meskenta Church or Church of the Virgin Mary. It was first built in the 17th century by the Armenians. It is still used by Catholics today and now that the fear is lessened, it is getting much more attendance lately.

I took that picture in September. I see that church from time to time when I have to go to a certain part of town and am going to try to get more pictures of it. I love the architecture, as well as the fact that it exists here.

There are several Christian churches in Baghdad and I pray they're all active again.
