In the summer of 447, three men from a small village near the ancient city of Karka in Mesopotamia were killed for refusing to renounce their faith. Their names were Simon, Abraham, and Ma'na. Almost no one remembers them. But the community they died for --- one of the oldest continuously Christian communities in the world --- is still here, still singing its liturgy in Aramaic, the language of ancient Mesopotamia.
