Christmas Tree Arson Shocks Jenin

Wild story out of Jenin: three people were arrested for torching a Christmas tree and damaging a Nativity scene at a Catholic church. The church bounced back fast, putting up a new tree for Christmas Mass and holding a unity ceremony with both Muslim and Christian leaders. The priest called it an isolated incident, but it’s a reminder of the tensions facing the tiny Christian community in the West Bank. Still, their spirit is clearly unbreakable. #Religion #Jenin #WestBank
