Adeh-ye Bozorg (Persian: آده بزرگ, romanized: Ādeh-ye Bozorg;[3] Syriac: ʿĀdā)[4][a] is a village in Tala Tappeh Rural District of Nazlu District in Urmia County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran.[5]

There is a Presbyterian Evangelical church at ʿĀdā.[6] The village has at least one Armenian church.[7]

History

The Church of St Daniel at ʿĀdā is believed to date to between the 4th and 7th century AD.[8] The scribe Tamraz of ʿĀdā copied a manuscript in 1698.[9] The Catholic metropolitan Shemʿōn from ʿĀdā was sent to India in 1701 by the Vatican to consecrate a Latin vicar apostolic for the Chaldeans of Malabar and died in India in 1720.[10]

The Church of St John the Baptist at ʿĀdā was constructed in the late 19th century.[11] In 1862, ʿĀdā was inhabited by 184 Church of the East Christian families and was served by the Church of Mār Daniel and the Church of Mār Yōḥannān but did not have a priest, according to the Russian archimandrite Sophoniah.[12] There were 126 Church of the East Christian families with 2 churches and 3 priests at ʿĀdā in 1877, as per Edward Lewes Cutts.[13] The scribe Pākō, son of Bābū, son of Amrīs, of ʿĀdā copied a manuscript in 1898.[9]

Basil Nikitin, the Russian consul at Urmia, recorded that the village was populated by Christians and Muslims just before the First World War.[14] There were 700 Chaldean Catholics at ʿĀdā in 1913 with 3 priests and 1 church as part of the Chaldean Catholic Archeparchy of Urmia.[15] Prior to the First World War, there were 300 Assyrian houses at ʿĀdā, as per the list presented by Agha Petros to the Lausanne Peace Conference in 1922.[16] It was located in the Anzel district.[12]

Ecclesiastical history

A traditionalist Church of the East bishop of ʿĀdā named Joseph with responsibility only for that village is attested in 1842, 1854, 1861, and 1880.[17] The bishop Joseph of ʿĀdā, who had converted to Catholicism, was mentioned as a Catholic bishop in a letter addressed to him and Gīwārgīs Augustine Barshīnā, metropolitan of Salmas, from Pope Pius IX in 1862.[18] He is mentioned again in 1877 by Edward Lewes Cutts and he may have ceased to have been a Catholic by 1880.[18]

The diocese of ʿĀdā was absorbed into the diocese of Anzel upon the death of its bishop in the second half of the 19th century.[18]
