It has been reported that Muslims in the frontline Iraqi city of Mosul have prepared the Virgin Mary Chaldean church for the benefit of Christian families returning after the left-bank of the coty was liberated from the grip of so-called Islamic State (ISIS).
Virgin Mary Chaldean church
Having served as a logistical base for the terror group during its occupation of Mosul, the church was spared serious damage. Liberated in the advance of the Iraqi army, and now cleared of the potential threat of booby traps, the church became a hive of activity in recent weeks when Muslim volunteers, mainly young people from the city, gathered to clear rubble and make the church building usable for Christian worship once more.
The clean-up operation was completed in time for the return of the first Christians, reported to be three Armenian families who have returned to the homes they occupied before the 2014 onslaught by ISIS.
Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
