في ظلّ تفاقم الظروف الإنسانيّة والاجتماعيّة في المنطقة جرّاء تصاعد العمليّات الأمنيّة فيها، يقدّم مجلس كنائس الشرق الأوسط تقريرًا أسبوعيًّا بعنوان "مرصد فلسطين" حيث يتضمّن آخر المستجدّات الّتي تشهدها فلسطين خصوصًا وسط تدهور الظروف المعيشيّة والاجتماعيّة والأمنيّة في البلاد. ستكون بعض النصوص باللغة العربية، وبعضها الآخر باللّغة الإنكليزيّة، وذلك حسب المصدر.

Oh Spring of love, an hymn that was born in the most difficult circumstances that Lebanon faced during the crisis between 1975-1990, and entered into the core of memory, and continued to call upon Jesus in every difficult period that passed through Lebanon.

With words from the heart, this short video sheds light on the value of the land of Lebanon, the birthplace of Saints and Martyrs, and the destiny of this people to confront harsh circumstances throughout the ages. 

Produced By MECC

This video presents a reflection entitled “Lebanon Is in Turmoil”. Through its words and scenes, it sheds light on the tragic situation that Lebanon is passing through, asking God, the God of justice and peace, to grant peace in the country and the entire world.

With the Artist and Journalist Dalia Freyfer and the Musician Mr. Fadi Al Hachem, we raise our hymns and Prayers on the intention of peace and justice in the Middle East and the world!
