the Syriac component celebrated the feast of St. Elias the Living, with the participation of dozens of components of the Jazira region, representatives of the Autonomous Administration, clergymen and Archbishop of the Jazira Mar Maurice.

This feast was called the Feast of St Elias the Living "because he did not die; rather he ascended to heaven in a fiery chariot, for he is still alive and they are waiting for his coming to earth."

In this regard, Monfonso Evelyn, who is of the Syriac component from Qamishlo city, said, "We celebrate the neighborhood St. Elias feast in the Church of St. St. Elias in Amuda district every year on July 20, and all components and from all regions in the Jazeera region participate in the celebration."

"St. Elias Church was founded in 1927, by the efforts of Archbishop Mor Morris and Patriarch Marg Mateus Avram," she added.
