Bsorino is an Assyrian village, which has got its name from the Assyrian words "beth sabro" (the house of hope), and has its roots in early Mesopotamia. The village is today situated in Turabdin, south-eastern Turkey. Bsorino is mostly known for its amazing church Mor Dodo, which has been a source of inspiration for many Assyrian poets.

The Church of Mor Dodo was built in the 600s, and restored in 1199. Apart from Mor Dodo Church, there are more than 25 churches in the small village, however, only a few of them are still being used.

Many famous Assyrian authors and theologists originate from Bsorino. One of the most famous persons is Yuhanun of Bsorino, who was a bishop around the 1000s. His work came to be of great importance for the development of the estrangel-writing in Turabdin. Another eminent personality from Bsorino was the librarian Raban Shlemun, who was responsible for the expansion of the library in St. Gabriel’s Convent in the year 1040.

Independent sources show that in the year 1167 there lived about 200 Assyrian families in Bsorino. After the First World War, and the genocide on the Assyrians (Seyfo), the number was about the half. Today there are only 25 families left - and the number of inhabitants is decreasing rapidly if nothing is done!
