In their annual Christmas message, European bishops lamentd the fact that many Ukrainians will not experience a joyful holiday with family, but rather will celebrate far from home or under the
threat of bombs, the Crux website reports today (December 21, 2022).
Given the special message of love, hope, and peace associated with the season, Christmastime is important for many whether they adhere to the Christian faith or not, they said, lamenting that for some, "these are particularly trying times" when the seasonal spark of joy is harder to find.
"We think especially of the immense suffering of the people in Ukraine, and those who have been forced to flee from their homes to seek refuge from the brutal military invasion initiated more than nine months ago," they said.
