The Byzantine Church of Buhaira in Bosra Syria

Even before Christianity was legitimately accepted across the empire, Bosra was a significant stronghold for the early Church. In 245AD, the early Christian theologian, Origen of Alexandria, visited the city to debate with Bosra’s bishop, Beryllus (who was an exponent of the eastern Monophysite doctrine) and convert him to orthodox beliefs.

By the late Byzantine period, Bosra was a major Christian centre. By the sixth century, it boasted the largest cathedral in the region of Syria and Arabia and was the seat of an important diocese.

However, the days of Christian Bosra were numbered.
