Syria’s Christmas: Grief Covers Joy
Due to the current events and in honor of the Syrian martyrs, Christmas celebrations in Syria were limited to prayers.
Christian denominations performed prayers at churches and places of worship marking birth of Jesus the Prophet, the messenger of peace and amity.
Mass was held at St. Georges Cathedral in Damascus, headed by Patriarch Mar Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, Patriarch of Antioch and All Orient and Supreme Head of the Universal Syriac Orthodox Church.
Mass was also held at the National Evangelical Church in Damascus headed by Pastor Boutros Zaour, assisted by the church choir.
Clarifying that "this year comes at a time when Syria is targeted by the worst conspiracy ever," Zaour added that "the Syrian leadership has worked genuinely to enact reforms to push Syria on the road of dignity, reform and modernization."
He also condemned "the twin terrorist attacks which claimed the lives of scores of civilians and military members in Damascus," noting that "such hideous acts will sharpen the will of the Syrian people and their adherence to national unity against conspiracies."
Similarly, Pastor Samuel Hanna, President of the National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon, denounced the twin terrorist attacks which hit Damascus Friday, offering heartfelt condolences to the families of the martyrs.
