Members of Syria's Russian community visited the ancient Orthodox Monastery of Saint Thecla in Maaloula, located some 50 kilometres north of the capital Damascus, on Saturday

The town and the monastery were badly damaged after being taken over by the Jabhat al-Nusra militant group in December 2013. It was liberated by the Syrian army in April 2014.

When the militants attacked the church, a lot of things were destroyed and looted. All the icons were looted, explained Inna Baritko, member of the Russian group.

With the visit coming just two weeks before Easter, Tatiana Laeva, another member of the group, said that the trip to the monastery has a special meaning.

Syria: Army ends Maaloula standoff at opposition-held monastery

Syrian Army forces ended a standoff at the Saint Takla historical monastery in Maaloula Monday after opposition fighters pulled back following fierce clashes. The monastery that houses over 100 orphans and more than 25 nuns had been held by opposition forces for more than two weeks.

Many gunmen entered but they left us because of God's grace in this monastery there is a great woman saint and she is one of the pioneering saints, she stood in their face like a wall, said one of the nuns from the monastery. When they entered there were 25 of them.

An orphan at Saint Takla recounted her experience, saying: When the insurgents entered we felt that we were in danger we didn't expect that they would leave us; we thought they would do something to us, we stayed and prayed that God will keep us alive and here.

Maaloula is one of only three places in the world where the majority of people speak Aramaic, the language thought to have been spoken by Jesus Christ. Up to 70,000 tourists a year from the Middle East, Europe and North America typically visited the city annually prior to 2011.

2005 Syria Maaloula, village chrétien

Maaloula (en arabe : معلولة Ma'loula, de l'araméen : ܡܥܠܐ, ma`lā, 'entrée'), est un village chrétien au Nord-est de Damas en Syrie, qui présente la particularité d'abriter une population qui parle encore l'araméen (voir néo-araméen occidental).

Le village doit sa renommée à ses refuges troglodytiques datant des premiers siècles du christianisme.

La majorité des chrétiens locaux appartient à l'Église grecque-catholique melkite. Le village est célèbre au Proche-Orient pour la ferveur et la solennité avec lesquelles il célèbre chaque 14 septembre la fête de l'Exaltation de la Croix.

Le village abrite le monastère Mar Takla, grec-orthodoxe, construit autour de la grotte et du tombeau de Sainte-Thècle fêtée le 24 septembre. En haut d'un rocher qui domine le village, se dresse un antique monastère desservi par un prêtre grec-catholique et dédié à Mar Sarkis et Mar Bacchus (Saints Serge et Bacchus), deux saints martyrs fêtés le 7 octobre.


Les chrétiens de Syrie représentent environ 7.5 % de la population du pays. C'est une des plus anciennes communautés chrétiennes du Proche-et-Moyen-Orient.

Syria militants take part of Syrian Christian town of Ma'loula

/
Foreign-backed militants operating inside Syria have moved into the center of the Christian town of Ma'loula after several days of fighting.


The militants, including the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front terrorists, stormed the Orthodox Mar Takla convent in the middle of the city, the official SANA news agency reported.

The report added that the foreign-sponsored militants took several nuns hostage in the convent, which is home to 40 nuns and orphans.

Given past atrocities, security sources and observers do not rule out the possibility of violence against the Christian residents of the historic town.

Meanwhile, sources say that the militants took part of Ma'loula after five days of clashes, while Syrian forces have recaptured the town of Qara and Deir Attiyeh, and are currently battling the foreign-backed militants for control of Nabak.

The militants had attacked Ma'loula early in September and captured some parts of it. However, they were pushed out of the town by the Syrian troops.

The beautiful town is regarded as a symbol of the ancient Christian presence in Syria.

Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. Reports indicate that the Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey -- are supporting the militants operating inside the country.

According to the United Nations, more than 100,000 people have been killed and millions displaced in the violence.
