Nestorian Tablets

Nestorian Tablets are ancient clay or stone inscriptions associated with Nestorian Christianity, a branch of the faith that spread eastward into Persia and Central Asia. These tablets often contain religious texts, prayers, or historical records and provide evidence of Christian communities thriving in regions beyond the Middle East. They are significant for understanding early Christian history and the cultural exchanges along the Silk Road, illustrating how Christianity adapted and persisted in diverse cultures. The tablets typically feature inscriptions in various languages, reflecting the mixed cultural environments where Nestorian Christians lived and interacted.
