Syrian Christians Celebrate Christmas Eve At Olive Church - Damascus

Christian worshippers attend Christmas Eve Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Dormition, also known as the Olive Church, in Damascus on December 24, 2024. Syria's rulers, who toppled Assad's government on December 8 have since sought to assure religious and ethnic minorities that their rights would be upheld.
