💨 Abstract

Syrian Christians attended Christmas Eve services in Damascus for the first time since President Bashar al-Assad's overthrow in December, amid security concerns and protests over the burning of a Christmas tree. The service was held under the watch of the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which has promised to protect religious minorities but is yet to gain trust from Christians.
