Christmas mass in earthquake-ravaged Antakya's historic church

In southeastern Turkish city of Antakya, ravaged by earthquakes on Feb. 6, 2023, Christians gather to celebrate Christmas in the historic cave church of Saint-Pierre.

'We currently have no place where we can hold masses. Of course, we can sometimes use small halls, any space where we're able to gather,' says Fadi Hurigil, president of Antakya Orthodox Church Association.
