    • Kurdistan Al-Kosh 20130913 Candles lit for a christing ceremony in the Mar Matti Monestary, the place where many pilgrims and Kurds go. Mar Matti Monastery is located at the top of the "upside down mountain" Jabal Maqlub in northern Iraq / Kurdistan (about 20 kilometers from Mosul and south from Dahuk). Dating back to the 4th century A.D Mar Matti was founded by the Syriac Christian Matti (Syriac for Matthew). He joined a mostly Nestorian population that had a small Syriac community. Using many of the caves on Jabal Maqlub as a temporary home, eventually the monastery was built to make life a little more comfortable. Under the leadership of Matti the community developed a monastic ethos. It is today recognized as one of the oldest Christian monasteries in existence. Photo Maria Langen / Sverredal & Langen AB
