Palestinian Christians taking shelter in the St. Porphyrius Church in Gaza City, which witnessed great destruction as a result of Israel's violent attacks, said they pray for the war to end. CE Report quoting Anadolu Agency

Israeli attacks, which have been going on for more than three months, have destroyed the bells of the St. Porphyrius Church, which dates back to 425 AD and is considered the third-oldest church in the world.

Nowadays, no church bells are heard, only warplanes and bombing sounds.

Christian denominations following the Eastern calendar, including the Orthodox denomination, celebrate Christmas on Jan. 6-7 every year.
