Description
On the rubble of ancient stones, a great pine stands like a miracle, the only survivor of the Antioch Orthodox Church collapsed by the violent earthquake of February 6 that swept through southern Turkey. "This is a tree of 15 years. It was given as a gift to me and after planting it here, it has become a source of life, a light shining upon the souls of our departed ones," rejoices Lora Suadioglu as she contemplates the tiny lights delicately placed by the faithful, despite everything, to illuminate their Christmas tree in a landscape of apocalypse.
