Orthodox Christians marked Easter all over the world on the weekend, and the Greek Orthodox minority of Syria was no exception to this, greekcitytimes.com reports.
Although celebrations and liturgies were held all over the war-torn country, Al-Suqaylabiyah in the so-called “Valley of the Christians” was once again a focal point for Easter.
Al-Suqaylabiyah, whose roots go back to the Greek Seleucid-founded town of Seleucia ad Belum, resisted Turkish-backed jihadist attacks thanks to the local Greek Orthodox militia led by Nabel Alabdalla.
