BLIND MAN WALKS PAST DAMAGED BUILDINGS AND CARS IN SYRIA


A blind man walks past cars and buildings damaged in fighting in the old city of Aleppo, Syria, Dec. 27. Because of ongoing fighting in the city, Catholic leaders in Aleppo cancelled their traditional Christmas visits to local government officials, but the local governor dropped in on a meeting of bishops and priests Dec. 27 to offer his best wishes, said Bishop Giuseppe Nazzaro.
