Some year-end news from Syria and the Patriarchate of Antioch:
Christian leaders in Syria issue a joint statement of hope and reconciliation amid transition
And from Jerusalem: Decisions of the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem
Ethiopian Bible is the oldest and complete bible on earth
The incredible Garima Gospels are named after a monk who arrived in the African country in the fifth century and is said to have copied them out in just one day.
Beautifully illustrated, the colours are still vivid and thanks to the Ethiopian Heritage Fund have been conserved.
Abba Garima arrived from Constantinople in 494 AD and legend has it that he was able to copy the gospels in a day because God delayed the sun from setting.
All of the above came to me through Orthodox Christian Laity.
