During the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the civilian population in the Gaza Strip is paying the heaviest price and has to leave their homeland.
Therefore, hundreds of Christian and Muslim civilians have taken refuge in the Holy Monastery of Saint Porphyrios in order to protect themselves from the Israeli army’s attacks.
It is recalled that the information that had been circulated last Monday, according to which the Holy Monastery was destroyed by the Israeli bombings, was officialy denied on the official Facebook page of the Holy Monastery.
However, despite the difficulties due to the attacks, the Orthros and the Divine Liturgy were celebrated at the Church of St. Porphyrios on Sunday, October 15, 2023.
The faithful got courage through the Divine Liturgy, so that God would give them strength to deal with the situation in the midst of war.
