An Englishman visiting the Nochiya Region in the late 1800’s a noted that "there is perhaps no Assyrian district where simple piety and loyal devotion to the church of their fathers is more beautifully seen than Nochiya". Nochiyayeh were and are still today most famous for their Christian faith and for being the guardians of the Assyrian Church of the East's canon laws, which they have faithfully preserved. There were other important religious figures in the tribe, including two bishops, four archdeacons, twelve priests and a large number of deacons distributed among the clans. To this day, the majority of the priests and deacons within the Assyrian Church belong to the Nochiya Tribe, including the current patriarch Mar Dinkha IV.
