Easter in Southern Lebanon's Qlayaa: Faith Amidst Conflict
The bells of St. George's Church in Qlayaa, southern Lebanon, rang out for Easter Sunday, just kilometers from the Hezbollah-Israel front line. Worshippers celebrated amidst the sounds of Israeli jets and explosions. Villagers, many from families that have endured conflict for generations, are determined to stay on their land despite severe isolation, bombed roads, and shortages of medicine and supplies. They feel caught in a war they didn't choose, with their safety unguaranteed, yet their faith remains a source of strength.
