The Church of Saint Thomas (Arabic: كنيسة مار توما, Classical Syriac: ܥܕܬܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܬܐܘܡܐ ܫܠܝܚܐ) is a Syriac Orthodox church in Mosul, Iraq.
[2] The church was damaged during Shahanshah Nader Shah's siege of Mosul as part of the Ottoman–Persian War of 1743–1746, and was subsequently renovated in 1744 by Cyril George, metropolitan bishop of Hattakh, with the permission of the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud I.
[4] Amidst restoration work in 1964, the finger bones of Saint Thomas were discovered in the church.
[5][6] On 23 December 2009, a bomb damaged the church, killed two men and injured five people.
[7] In the aftermath of the Fall of Mosul, the relics of Saint Thomas were taken from the church by Nicodemus Daoud Sharaf, Syriac Orthodox Archbishop of Mosul,[5] and transferred to the Monastery of Saint Matthew on 17 June 2014.
