00:27While we live in pain, we cling to hope,
00:31affirming that the true essence of Christmas lies not in appearance
00:37and old vestments, but in worship and prayer.
00:40Our responsibility is to keep the light of Christmas igniting in our hearts,
00:48carrying the energy of hope that ends pain and distorts truth to humanity.
00:54In light of the difficult conditions in the Palestinian cities,
00:58and especially in Gaza,
01:01it is difficult to show any signs of joy,
01:06excitement, light, trees, and decoration.
01:09The celebration takes place inside churches,
01:12where prayers are limited to religious rituals.
