At the church of the Virgin Mary in Baghdad, hymns sung in the ancient Aramaic language float through intricately carved wooden doors into a small courtyard outside.
They mix with religious songs blasted from the loudspeakers of a mosque opposite.
Next to the church, two Muslim women, veiled in black, wait for their turn to light candles to the Virgin Mary.
In Iraq, Christians and Muslims have worshipped side by side for centuries.
