10 Years After ISIS Raids, Revival Underway at Syria’s Mar Elian Monastery | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This month marks ten years since ISIS desecrated the tomb of a much‑revered saint in Syria. In August 2015, ISIS raided the historic Monastery of Mar Elian in Al‑Qaryatayn. “Mar” means “saint” in Syriac. They desecrated the tomb and took several hundred Christians hostage. But today — a revival is underway. EWTN News Contributor Alberto Fernandez shares more about Mar Elian, his significance, the ISIS raid, and what the monastery looks like now. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
