Cathedral of Mary Mother of Sorrows, Catholic cathedral in Baghdad, Iraq
The Cathedral of Mary Mother of Sorrows features thick walls, multiple entrances, and pillars crafted from Mosul marble imported via the Tigris River.
The cathedral, established in 1843 for the growing Chaldean Christian community, underwent reconstruction and floor elevation in 1889 due to flooding concerns.
The cathedral serves as the seat of the Chaldean Catholic Patriarchate of Babylon and maintains full communion with the Holy See in Rome.
Located near Wathba Square in the Ras Al-Grayyeh district of Baghdad, the cathedral provides seating for approximately 2,000 worshippers during services.
Polish soldiers participated in building the high altar during World War II, adding an international element to this Iraqi religious structure.
