Syria News Wire posts some Easter pictures in Damascus (yes, there are Christians in Damascus – they’ve been there since the time of Ananias). The photos are from John Wreford. You can see a lot more photos from the Middle East at his site.

Thanks for the link.
And of course, Damascus was mentioned many times in the Bible. About 10% of the city’s population is Christian.
Damascus is becoming something of a Christian pilgrimage site these days. It is incredible safe, and very welcoming for people of all religions.
Best wishes,
Sasa.
Thanks Sasa, I didn’t know that. Statistics I had seen are different than this.
Yes, it’s about 10% of the population of Damascus, 10% of Syria as a whole, and 30% of Aleppo.
