It is not sure to whom this church was dedicated although it was probably used afterwards as a stopping station for pilgrims to St. Simeon's church like the nearby church of Mshabak.

The entrance to this basilica has a tower on each side three stories high, which used to frame a semicircular arch. The inside of the church is divided into three naves. Each two naves are separated between a row of three arches. The circular rear part of the church has two orders of columns. The upper floor of the central nave has windows on both sides; small columns separate these windows.

The beautiful architecture used in this church shows an ability to use classical Greek decoration.
