Pray for Peace

Aleppo's Christians gathered at the Saint Elias Cathedral in the Al-Jadideh quarter of Aleppo, Sunday, to celebrate its first peaceful Christmas ceremony in over four years.

The congregation gathered towards the front of the church as the roof collapsed due to three missile attacks by militants during the Syrian crisis. The residents of Aleppo teamed together to transform the debris of the collapsed Saint Elias Cathedral into a nativity scene earlier this week.
