History
Al-Zūq (today called Yanarsu) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[2] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 13 households, who paid 87 dues, and was served by one priest.[2] There was a Syriac Orthodox church of Yūldaṯ Alohō.[2] A diyāqūs (servant of the church) was ordained for the Church of Meryem Ana at Al-Zūq on 16 December 1326 AH by Metropolitan Ilyās.[6]
