Description
Edessa was celebrated for the legend of the exchange of letters between its king and Jesus, and was venerated as the first kingdom to accept Christianity. The story of its community, administered by Rome, Byzantium, Arabs, Crusades, and Turks, reflects the vicissitudes of Mesopotamian history.
