While Syrian Christians usually celebrate Easter with parades and various children’s activities, no celebrations took place this year. Christians simply attended prayer meetings inside their churches. This follows an incident that happened in a town in central Syria on March 26. Two Sunni men from a nearby town entered the Greek Orthodox town of Suqaylabiyah and reportedly harassed a Christian woman. Though they were extricated from the town, they returned the next day with gunmen who rode into town, firing gunshots into the air. They vandalized cars, damaged shopfronts, homes, and vehicles while residents hid inside buildings.
