Syria has been through hell for several years. Fortunately this year, after expelling the American-supported ISIS terrorists (a.k.a. "freedom fighters"), the city of Aleppo decided to celebrate Christmas is a grand, public way:

Let this be a reminder to us all- there are some Muslims, such as Syrian President Bashar Al-Asad and his many supporters, who do not wish only death and destruction for the Christians of this world. Never forget to pray for such people. If God will do such a miracle as in Incarnation, which is the real meaning of Christmas, to redeem sinful men, then it is our obligation to seek their highest good, which is bringing them to the Truth.

Also, don't forget about the ISIS terrorists as well. While they are very evil, as long as they live there is hope for them too to abandon their evil ways and embrace the Truth. Just ask Walid.

Merry Christmas, Aleppo. May the light of Christ shine brightly in you this year and forever more.

И моям русскам друзьям- С Рождеством Счастливом!
