Iraqi Archbishop of Chaldeans in Kirkuk and Sulaymaniah Louis Sako announced, on Wednesday, that Christians in Kirkuk decided to mark the season of Christmas in church masses and cancel Christmas celebrations due to Iraq’s crisis and the continuous targeting of Christians.
“Kirkuk’s Christians will not hold Christmas celebrations but will mark this occasion in church masses and pray for security and stability in Iraq,” Archbishop Sako told Alsumarianews.
“Instable security in Iraq in general and Kirkuk in particular, the continuous targeting of Christians in Mosul, incidents of Badinan of Kurdistan in addition to other situations in Iraq led Christians to cancel Christmas celebrations,” he explained, a source told Alsumaria.
