They attended the first Mass since rebels overthrew President Bashar al-Assad
LATAKIA - In Syria 's northwestern port town of Latakia, Christian worshippers attending Mass on Sunday at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral were hopeful that the country's new largely Sunni Muslim leadership would respect their religion.
Athanasios Fahed, the Metropolitan of Latakia and its dependencies for the Greek Orthodox Church, led Sunday's service in Latakia and the cathedral filled with people in brisk morning weather. Fahed said that while many Christians were displaced to other regions under Assad's rule, the coastal regions such as areas around Latakia were unaffected. Latakia was a stronghold of Assad's rule.
