The Community of Sant'Egidio will dedicate the Feast of the Assumption to the tragic events that have been experienced by the Syrian people as a result of a war, which seems to have no end.
In particular, the August 15 liturgy, which will take place at Santa Maria in Trastevere around 10:30 a.m., will commemorate Aleppo. This city has been reduced to exhaustion. Hence, Sant'Egidio launched a few days ago a strong appeal for a truce that offers a way of salvation to the inhabitants of this city. It is a symbol of coexistence between cultures and religions. It is also a victim of a siege that spares no one, starting with the weakest, the sick, and children.
