The caliph of the Muslims, the “Umayyad”, built for them from the house of state money many churches in Damascus and its Ghouta, which all remain until today an honest witness against all the lies of sectarianism, and he built from the same treasury the Umayyad Mosque, churches that have existed for a thousand and four hundred years ago and perhaps the “Marian Church” was among the most important of them Where the Umayyad Caliph Omar bin Abdul Aziz completed what Al-Walid bin Abdul-Malik started by building completely and beautifully from the state’s money house, a church that underwent many events but was larger and more beautiful than it was. The Church of the Spiritual Presidency of the Eastern Orthodox Christians, next to which was found a small mosque. It is called the Al-Omari Mosque. It went when the road was expanded some time ago, but its minaret remained alongside its sister, the Marian Church, as a witness and a symbol of Syria that we love, desire and dream, and our revolution was held for it.
