Patriarch John X of Antioch
Lent is the queen of virtues. This is what we pray in the Orthros of the Meat Fare Sunday; we invite the faithful to receive Lent as queen over our souls, leading them to the shores of salvation.

What place do Christians and the Antiochian Church have in the future of Syria? What role has the Church played in humanitarian assistance to the millions in need? Why is Orthodoxy finding renewed appeal in Western countries?
We are not talking about protection of Christians as if Christians are factional, isolated from others. We emphasize and say that protecting Christians and everyone else happens through establishing peace in their land. Protecting the Orient, happens through planting olives and empowering the peace foundations and not through aircrafts and providing weapons to attack unarmed civilians. Protecting the East and its people happens through turning off the fire of wars. Protecting this land happens through looking with humanitarian eye to all what is happening not in the eye of interests.
