Christianity became rooted in Iraq from
the first Christian centuries.
The
Christian community of Iraq has
been an important part of the fabric of
Iraqi society at all times.
They made
substantial contributions to the
emergence of the Abbasid civilization
that flourished on Iraqi soil as well as
the building of modern Iraq. They have
always been proud of their country in
which they lived from ancient times and
to which they are attached by bonds of
history that go back to the Assyrians
and the Babylonians.
