His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos of Jerusalem and the heads of other churches represented in the Holy Land are calling upon the faithful to observe a day of fasting and prayer for peace.
The ecclesiastical leaders issued a statement last week calling for an end to the violence that has recently flared up in the Holy Land and condemning any acts that target civilians.
Pat. Theophilos and the other leaders met again on Friday, October 13, after which they issued another statement, calling upon the state of Israel to allow humanitarian supplies to enter Gaza and calling upon the faithful to observe a day of fasting and prayer tomorrow, Tuesday, October 17.
