Iraqi Christians Return to Town Invaded by ISIS to Hold First Mass in 2 Years

Iraqi Christians Return to Town Invaded by ISIS to Hold First Mass in 2 Years
The Iraqi town of Qaraqosh had the largest population of Christians in the country – and now they're all finally returning to their home for mass.

Dozens of Iraqi refugees are returning to the the largest Christian town in the country to have their first holy communion since the city was captured by ISIS in 2014.

Makeshift wooden crosses were erected along the rooftop welcoming back its dedicated disciples. Syriac Catholic Archbishop of Mosul Butrus Moshe started leading the effort to clean up the damaged church property since the reunited mass on Sunday.

The city is also currently being protected by Christian volunteer soldiers who helped liberate Qarqosh last week.
