Syria: Masses and prayers held to celebrate the New Year

Christian denominations in Syria held on Sunday masses and prayers to celebrate the New Year.


In the Greek Orthodox Mariamite Cathedral in Damascus, a mass held headed by Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East John X Yazigi, who called in a sermon for dialogue, peace, and building Syria, affirming that Syria will remain unified and that all other Syrian areas will return to Syria’s embrace just as Aleppo has returned.

He called on the major powers in the world to lift the economic blockade which deprives Syrians of their livelihoods and which doesn’t protect them from shells fired by terrorists.....http://sana.sy/en/?p=97410
