زيارة السفير البابوي لسوريا تُستقبل كإشارة أمل للمسيحيين

استقبل المسيحيون المطران لوئيجي روبرتو كونا، السفير الرسولي الجديد لدى سوريا وممثل الكرسي الرسولي، مع بدء مهمته في لحظة حساسة ومفصلية بالنسبة للبلد. وخلال زيارته لعدة تجمعات في إدلب، رُفع العلم السوري إلى جانب علم الفاتيكان، في مشهد رمزي بالنسبة للمسيحيين المحليين الذين واجهوا صعوبات كثيرة في ممارسة إيمانهم في إدلب.
وقام السفير البابوي، برفقة نائب وزير الداخلية السوري، بإطلاق حمامة سلام في سماء المناطق المسيحية التي شملتها الزيارة، في إشارة رمزية إلى الأمل بالسلام.
وعند وصوله إلى سوريا، عبّر عن أمله بأن يواصل المسيحيون لعب دور “جسر” للحوار والمصالحة والسلام بعد سنوات من الصراع. وخلال زياراته الرسمية الأولى، التقى بقيادات كنسية ومسؤولين سوريين، مؤكداً التزام الكرسي الرسولي بدعم الوجود المسيحي في المنطقة وتشجيع التعايش بين جميع السوريين.
وقد تميّزت زيارته ليس فقط باللقاءات الدبلوماسية، بل أيضاً باستقبال دافئ ومؤثر من الأهالي الذين تجمعوا في الشوارع لتحية ممثل البابا بفرح ورجاء بالمستقبل. وكثيرون عبّروا عن أملهم بأن تحمل هذه الزيارة دعماً متجدداً وتغييراً إيجابياً ورجاءً أكبر للمجتمع المسيحي في المنطقة.

Going on a shopping trip to Dublin tommorow + appointment

Hi so as the title says I’m headed to Dublin on a train from NI. I should hopefully be there just past 11 o’clock and I have an appointment outside the main city centre at 2:45 but was hoping to get about two hours of shopping down before then if that’s manageable? The distance from conollys to were I have an appointment is about 10-15 minutes by taxi google maps is saying, tho with traffic it could be longer. I don’t know Dublin to well but I’d guess at that time it would be busy enough?

Anyways my question is, is the taxi service in Dublin good? Ik buses r always an option and probably cheaper but with time being tight I think a taxi is probably the better option? Is uber better or just a regular taxi and is there a taxi rink near the main shopping area where Bobbi brown anol are?

My appointment is in Blanchardstown so does anyone know how long it takes to get there and the best way. Thanks

Started sunbeds need advice

Okay so I’m Lebanese so I have olive skin and naturally do tan well but when I haven’t been on holiday for awhile I get very pale so I started sunbeds. I’ve only been on 3 sessions so far and I was advised to start on 4 minutes.

My friend she is very pale and Irish but she’s been using them now for a few months and has got a nice base tan but her boyfriend is saying you can only go up one minute at a time? And after two sessions but I feel this is a waste of time and money? I started on 4 and now I’m at 6 and there’s been no difference in colour? If I jump up a few minutes will that be okay?

He’s saying that I’ll get sunbed sickness but I dunno…..

Remembering the martyrs of Mar Elias Church 💔

On June 22, 2025, a terrorist attack struck the Greek Orthodox Mar Elias Church in the Dweila district of Damascus during the Divine Liturgy. A suicide bomber entered the church while hundreds of worshippers were gathered for prayer, opened fire, and then detonated an explosive vest inside the sanctuary. The attack martyred around 22 people and injured dozens of others, making it one of the deadliest attacks against Christians in Syria in recent years.
One year later, the memory of the martyrs of Mar Elias Church remains alive in the hearts of Christians across Syria and around the world. As the first anniversary of the tragedy is marked, prayers are offered for the repose of those who lost their lives, for the healing of the wounded, and for lasting peace in Syria. Today, we ask all of you to remember the martyrs, their families, and the Christians of Syria in your prayers.

Anyone else experience having no sex drive on the pill, and is there any type of food supplement that helps? Or something

I first was prescribed birth control about a year after my first period. I was on it until I was 18 then I decided to come of it.

Throughout the years I was on it I genuinely had no sex drive at all and it left me feeling like weird that I just didn’t feel the way everyone else my age did? It made me question if I was a sexual or something which I know now I’m not. Not only that but looking back I was also a very dull person. I wasn’t depressed but I felt very little emotion and had no motivation.

After coming of it which I have been of it now for six months I feel like I function way better and feel more bubbly and energetic. I do take fenugreek and maca root as supplements and so I feel they might play a role in that? But it’s definitely a positive one. But now I’m thinking of going back on birth control and I’m scared if I do I’ll have no sex drive at all but anyone who is on it and has had similar symptoms to me, is there anything you take for this not to effect you as much? I was thinking that if I do go back on it I would take maca and fenugreek to try combat the problem but I dunno if that would work so I’m just wondering if anyone has any advice?

يبدو إنه، مرة جديدة، كانت في محاولة هجوم على المسيحيين. يعطيهم العافية للقوات الأمنية على سرعة تصرفهم وإنقاذ الأرواح. كان ممكن الأمور تمشي بطريقة مختلفة تمامًا.

أصدرت أبرشية السريان الأرثوذكس في حلب (شمال سوريا) توضيحًا حول حادثة سقطت فيها شنطة سودا من سيارة نقل موتى أثناء دخولها إلى كاتدرائية مار أفرام السريانية الأرثوذكسية بحي السليمانية، بينما كان يتم نقل جثمان أحد أبناء الرعية للصلاة والدفن.

وقالت الأبرشية في بيان مساء الأربعاء 13 أيار إن سيارة تابعة لمكتب دفن الموتى كانت تُدخل الجثمان إلى الكاتدرائية عندما سقط جسم صغير ملفوف بشنطة سودا ومثبت بلاصق شفاف من السيارة، ما أثار الشكوك حول طبيعته.

وبحسب البيان، اعتقد حارس الأبرشية بالبداية إن الجسم تابع لمعدات السيارة، قبل ما ينفي السائق أي علاقة إله فيه. وهالشي دفع الحارس للاتصال بشرطي مرور، واللي بدوره طلب حضور العناصر الأمنية. بعدها تم إغلاق الطريق من كل الجهات كإجراء احترازي ضد أي خطر محتمل.

وقال المكتب الإعلامي للأمن الداخلي بحلب لإناب بلدي إن الجسم اللي سقط من سيارة نقل الموتى تبيّن إنه شنطة فيها عدة قنابل. وكانت الشنطة موجودة داخل السيارة قبل ما تقع أثناء حركة السيارة حول الكاتدرائية.

وأضاف المكتب إن العناصر الأمنية تعاملت مع البلاغ فور تلقيه. وتم تأمين المكان وتسليم الشنطة للجهات المختصة قبل البدء بإتلاف محتوياتها حسب الإجراءات المتبعة.

وأشار إلى إنه لسا مو معروف مين حط القنابل داخل الشنطة أو تحت أي ظروف تم إدخالها للسيارة.

وكان ناشطون على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي تداولوا تسجيل فيديو من كاميرا مراقبة يوثق لحظة سقوط الشنطة من سيارة نقل الموتى.

وأظهر الفيديو حارس الأبرشية وهو يقترب من الشنطة ويركلها قبل ما يشك فيها ويتصل بالقوى الأمنية، اللي أغلقت المنطقة لحد ما وصلت وحدة المتفجرات.

وأضافت الأبرشية إن وحدة هندسة متفجرات وصلت لاحقًا إلى الموقع وتعاملت مع الجسم بعد فحصه وإبعاده عن المنطقة وسط إجراءات أمنية مشددة.

وأوضحت إنه بعد مراجعة تسجيلات كاميرات المراقبة، تبيّن إن الجسم سقط من سيارة نقل الموتى، اللي كانت متوقفة قبلها بشارع قريب.

وشكرت الأبرشية الجهات الأمنية اللي تعاملت مع الحادثة “بسرعة واحترافية”، بحسب وصفها، مشيرةً إلى إن التدخل السريع منع وقوع أي أضرار محتملة.

Father Louise, a Jordanian priest who served as parish priest in Beit Sahour, a majority Palestinian Christian town near Bethlehem has been forced to leave the country. According to church sources, Israel made its decision by Father Louis’s political views and his influence on Christian youth

Father Louis Salman, a Jordanian priest who served as parish priest in Beit Sahour, a majority Palestinian Christian town near Bethlehem and was also chaplain for the Palestinian Christian youth movement, has been forced to leave the country.
Following an unusually long and intensive security interrogation by Israeli authorities, Israel refused to renew his visa and ordered him to leave before 11 May.
In a poignant farewell, Father Louis presided over his final Mass in Beit Sahour - the 'Shepherd's Field'- on Sunday.
Father Louis is considered one of the most influential figures among Palestinian Christian youth.
According to church sources, Israel justified its decision by citing Father Louis's political views and his significant influence on Christian youth, particularly given his public statements describing Israel as an "occupying power," in addition to his national and humanitarian presence at numerous Palestinian events.
Born in 1989, Jordanian Father Louis Salman studied computer graphics and animation at Princess Sumaya University for Technology, before joining the major seminary in Beit Jala in 2014, to train to become a priest.
Father Louis' name became prominent following the killing of the young Christian Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by an Israeli soldier in May 2022. Fr Louis led a funeral service and a solemn procession for her in Jenin, prior to her burial in Jerusalem. Israeli soldiers attacked the pallbearers carrying her casket as Palestinians carried her from St Joseph Hospital through Jerusalem to the church in the Old City for her funeral.
In recent days, Beit Sahour many people came to bid farewell to their much-loved pastor. Palestinian Christian Youth held a tribute ceremony for Father Louis, attended by around 150 young men and women from various Palestinian cities. His final Mass on Sunday, was attended by a large congregation from the Bethlehem Governorate, who bid him farewell with feelings of both sorrow and pride.
The expulsion of Father Louis comes amid escalating Israeli pressure on Palestinian churches and Christian institutions, whether through restrictions on holiday celebrations, settler attacks on clergy and nuns, or encroachments on church lands. This pressure also manifests in the tightening of residency permits for priests and clergy from Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt who come to serve in Palestinian churches.
Many see the decision to expel Father Louis as a message that extends beyond him personally, targeting the Palestinian Christian presence itself and attempting to curtail the national and spiritual role played by Palestinian churches in preserving identity and resilience, especially among young people.

I’m a Christian from Syria. Which I’m sure you know is now ran by salafists. From what I know of Sufism it seems to be a lot less radical but it’s often attacked and banned by most Salafi countries. But I’m just curious where do most of you reside? Is there any countries were there’s large groups of use? And what’s it like living in a Salafi majority country, do you face much discrimination? Or not at all. Are you able to be open about your beliefs?
