Yahoo News posted an Associated Press story about the Christian churches in Iraq that are not celebrating Christmas this year.
The story reports:
“Christians across Iraq have been living in fear since the assault on Our Lady of Salvation Church as its Catholic congregation was celebrating Sunday Mass. Sixty-eight people were killed. Days later Islamic insurgents bombed Christian homes and neighborhoods across the capital.
“On Tuesday, al-Qaida insurgents threatened more attacks on Iraq’s beleaguered Christians, many of whom have fled their homes or the country since the church attack. A council representing Christian denominations across Iraq advised its followers to cancel public celebrations of Christmas out of concern for their lives and as a show of mourning for the victims.”
There is a picture in the article of American soldiers guarding a church during a Mass in Baghdad. Please pray for the persecuted church around the world and thank God for the blessings we have in America that allow us to celebrate Christmas without fear.
