Christmas, celebrated by Christians around the world on the night of December 24, was celebrated with bittersweet joy in Iskenderun, one of the earthquake zones. On the occasion of Christmas, a simple service was held in the hall of the Iskenderun Catholic Cathedral (Annunciation Latin Catholic Church), which was destroyed in the February 6 disaster.
Church Father Dariusz Dogondke accompanied the holy mass directed by Anatolian Apostolic Vicar and Bishop Monsignor Paolo Bizzeti.
Non-Christian citizens who attended the holy ritual, which was held later on the night of December 24th, also shared the joy of Christmas of the Christians of Iskenderun.
