Visit to Mor Aphrem Church in Berlin

1

His Holiness Patriarch Mor Ignatius Aphrem II visited Mor Aphrem Church in Berlin.
He was accompanied by their Eminences Mor Philoxenus Mattias Nayis, Patriarchal Vicar in Germany, Mor Julius Hanna Aydin, Director of the Foreign Relations in Germany, and Mor Timotheos Matta Al-Khoury, Patriarchal Vicar in the Patriarchal Archdiocese of Damascus.
In his sermon, His Holiness spoke about the challenges of our Syriac people in Europe, away from their homeland. He said that our people in the diaspora in general are trying hard to keep their faith as they have received it from the forefathers and to preserve the traditions that they learned from grandparents.
At the end of the evening prayer, His Holiness blessed the faithful.
