Aleppo-SANA
Many of the people of the city of Aleppo gathered this evening in the Maronite St. Elias Cathedral in Farhat Square in Old Aleppo, not worried about the earthquake.
Prayers were raised this time, not with words.
Father Antoine Freij, from the cathedral, indicated to SANA reporter that the church embraced many of the affected people from the neighboring neighborhoods, trying to calm them down and secure what they need to prevent the cold, psychological support, social support, and encourage young people to get up despite the injured.
He added, “We resort to prayer as a natural reaction for every person who has trust in God, and this trust made us overcome the various difficulties during the war, and now we are emerging from the devastating earthquake, raising our prayers for the intention of every person who has lost a loved one and every person with a wounded heart over the loss of the treasure of his life.”
In her turn.. Maya Dabbagh, one of the participants, pointed out the importance of unity in prayer and work, as was the case during the service of those affected in the church itself, while Elias Doumat said: Our prayers today come out with a voice of groaning on the one hand, and thanksgiving on the other hand, groaning for everyone who has passed away, And thanks to God for our safety after the disaster that befell our city.
