Assyrians are one of the first nations to convert to Christianity and have played a massive role in the spreading of Christianity throughout the world. According to the Assyrian Church of the East, the Apostle Thomas converted Assyrians to Christianity within a generation after the death of Jesus.

He had begun his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God was on him.

Though Ezra is not one of the more widely known figures in the Bible, he played a vital role in the spiritual health of the Jewish people.

And his religious leadership helped generate a revival among the Jews as they resettled.
