Patriarch Louis Raphael I Sako, the head of the Chaldean Catholic
Church, blessed a giant cross in Telekuf-Tesqopa, a town recently
liberated from the rule of ISIS.
The prelate described the event as “the first spark of light shining
in all the cities of the Nineveh Plain since the darkness of ISIS, which
lasted almost two and a half years. This is our land, and this is our
home.”
