What Happened to Syria?25 Des 2024

UNLOCKED: BONUS EPISODE 16 - Christmas in Syria

Milad majid! Did you know that Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 7th?

This episode examines the millennia-long history of Christianity in Syria, the ways that Christians have participated in both the Syrian Revolution and Syrian Civil War, and ending with an overview of the country's Christmas traditions.

This one's got everything from empires and caliphates to revolutionaries protesting against a dictator and even an immortal camel who brings presents to children once a year.
