SYRIA-UNREST-MAALULA

Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III Laham (L) and Greek Orthodox leader Yuhanna X Yazigi (C) speak to the press during their visit on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2014, to one of the Middle East's oldest Christian settlements, Maalula, caught up in Syria's brutal conflict because of its strategic location in the Qalamun mountains. Residents of Maalula, some of whom speak Aramaic, the language of Christ, returned to the historic Christian town to mark Easter, glad that the Syrian army freed it from rebel control. Christians make up some five percent of Syria's population and have largely avoided taking sides in the conflict that erupted in March 2011.
