Easter Celebrations Confined to Prayers ,Masses

DAMASCUS,(ST)-Syrian Christians communities, who follow the Eastern calendar, marked Easter on Sunday by holding prayers and masses at the countries churches.

Celebrations on this occasion have been confined for the past two years to prayers and masses only.

Father Gabriel Daoud of the Orthodox Syriac Patriarchate said in a statement to Syrian TV that the Jesus Christ ,the messenger of amity and peace, is a celebration for all the Syrians.

He hoped that Syria will celebrate  the resurrection of happiness after the end of the  long suffering it is experiencing.

“Easter comes this year amid the escalations of the criminal and inhuman practices of the armed terrorist groups in Syria, “said father Daoud, referring to the crime of kidnapping two archbishops under the sight and silence  of the whole world.

Commenting on the Israeli aggression which targeted the Scientific Research Center  in Jamraya of the Damascus Countryside Sunday morning, Daoud said” the Zionist enemy whose predecessors tortured Jesus Christ ,chose Easter eve to launch a savage aggression on Syria to tell the Syrians that it will deprive them from the simplest forms of happiness.”

“Despite the savageness of this aggression, the Syrians will continue to be steadfast till they attain victory,’Daoud said.
