Description
Dozens of faithful celebrate mass at a Mosul church in northern Iraq for the first time since it was restored after it was ransacked by Islamic State jihdists. IS swept into Mosul and proclaimed it their "capital" in 2014, in an onslaught that forced hundreds of thousands of Christians in the northern Nineveh province to flee, some to Iraq's nearby Kurdistan region.
