Wadi Natrun Monastery of the Syrians (Deir al-Sourian) 6th cent Church of the Holy Virgin (el-Adra) c.645 Nave Roundel Phi (Φ) God (3)

The Monastery of St Mary el-Sourian is a Coptic Orthodox monastery located in the Nitrian desert, (Coptic, Shaheet desert). It was founded by monks from the neighbouring Monastery of St Bishoy (Deir Anba Pshoi) in the 6th century, when a dispute over the human nature of the body of Christ caused a split in the community of that monastery. Those who held the orthodox view that Christ had a human body, and that therefore the Virgin Mary was his mother in the physical sense, left and founded a new community nearby. The Monastery of the Holy Virgin of Anba Bishoy later became known as the Monastery of the Syrians (Dayr al-Sourian), after a group of Syriac monks settled there around 800.
