Patriarch and dozens of bishops at the funeral of Mor Boutros Al Nehmeh in Homs
The Syriac Orthodox bishop died on Monday in a Damascus hospital from an incurable disease. Syrian Christians lose a man who was “a point of reference” during years of wars and violence. For the president of the Aramean Federation in Switzerland, the bishop “courageously stayed to lead his faithful, passing on trust, security and hope to them.”
Homs (AsiaNews) – The funeral of Mor Boutros Al Nehmeh, Syrian Orthodox bishop of Homs, Hama, Tartus and Environs, was held today. He died on Monday in a Damascus hospital from an incurable brain tumour that was diagnosed only two months ago.
