Divine masses held at Armenian Churches in Syria marking Christmas Day

National

Several divine masses were held on Wednesday at Armenian churches in a number of Syrian provinces in celebration of Christmas, the Birth Day of Jesus Christ, the messenger of peace and amity.

 The St Sarkis Church in Damascus for Armenian Orthodox, the Armenian Orthodox Church in Qameshli in Hasaka and the Emmanuel Church for the Armenian Protestants in Aleppo held divine masses and prayers to celebrate Christmas Day.

In his Christmas sermon in Damascus, Bishop Armash Nalbandian, Primate of the Armenian Church Diocese of Damascus, highlighted the sublime values of Christmas and hoped that peace,  joy and tolerance will fill the hearts of the Syrians who have experienced much pain over the past years.

Nalbandian said that last year witnessed plenty of hardships and sad times, because of the outbreak of the Corona Pandemic, which has claimed many innocent lives and massively damaged the world’s economies, in addition to the horrible explosion that rocked Beirut port and the tragic events in Armenia. However,  “we, as Christians, whose ideal is the sacred family of Jesus Christ, have managed to face these difficult circumstances with deep faith and strong cohesion.”

He condemned the terrorist attack that targeted  Syrian soldiers on board a bus on the road between Deir Ezzor and Palmyra, expressing his deepest condolences to the families of the hero martyrs and praying to God to protect Syria and help it completely triumph in its war on terrorism.

Meantime, the Armenian Orthodox and protestant denominations in Aleppo and Hasaka celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ and called in their prayers for peace to Syria and urged the Syrians to maintain tolerance, amity and other human values and to work hard to rebuild their country.
