Saturday, January 23, the bishop of Mosul, Msgr. Emile Shimoun Nona, was welcomed in Karamles by a large crowd who accompanied him in his visits to the churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Santa Barbara. The next day Msgr. Nona celebrated the Holy Mass in the church dedicated to the apostle Mar Addai.
The significance of the visit of Msgr. Nona to Karamles is deep, and it is bound to the tragic events that marked the history of Iraqi Christianity, and of the Chaldean church in particular, in recent years. It was in Karamles infact that in June 2007 was buried Father Ragheed Ganni, the young priest of Mosul killed in cold blood with three deacons of his church, and that for a year, before being transferred to Mosul in March 2009, rested the remains of Archbishop Paulos Faraj Raho, the predecessor of Msgr.Nona.
During his visit to Mar Addai church Msgr. Nona prayed on the tomb of Father Ragheed Ganni.
