Also called Mor Hananyo or saffron monastery. Saffron because of the yellow color, it takes the color of the earth around it. An important monastery in its early days and more so now. Like the rest, it has students from all over, returning Syriac community, eager to learn Aramaic. Its 5 km from Mardin. We returned from Midyat to Mardin, caught a taxi to drive us to Saffron monastery. He waited for us while we visited. We returned to the bus station aafter the visit, caught a mini bus to Diyabakir. We didn't stay in Mardin, it was too expensive and we've seen everything.
