< p > Another day, another exquisite, hand-painted ceiling in Amman. Just like the < a href = "/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/" > other hand-painted wood ceiling< / a > I posted about a few weeks ago, the work was done by an old Syrian man. This one is actually in my flat, and I may or may not have taken this picture while laying on my back on the living room floor.< / p >

< p > Even if the number number of mosques in Amman < em > didn’ t< / em > outnumber churches by a factor of ten, the Saint Thaddeus Armenian Apostolic church would still stand out. It caught my eye once a few weeks ago and then I started seeing it every time I glanced at Jabal Al-Ashrafieh. After weeks of squinting and asking myself “ < em > Is that an Armenian church?< / em > ” I finally went on an epic scavenger hunt and found it.< / p >
