Church of Nativity mass after clean up by all sects

Patriarch Arinous 1st on Sunday presided over the first mass for the Greek- Orthodox in the Church of Nativity of Bethlehem since lifting the Israeli siege last Friday.

The mass in the church was made after it was cleaned by the clergies and men of religion from all sects and with the support of Palestinian citizens to remove the traces of 39 days of the Israeli siege.

Worthy mentioning that the bullets and the shells fired by the Israeli forces during the siege resulted in heavy damages and fires especially in the Greek- Orthodox convent which adjoins the Church of Nativity.
