Sfeir in Christmas Message Urges Lebanese to 'Sacrifice'
Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir on Thursday called in his Christmas message on the various Lebanese sides to "sacrifice" for Lebanon.
"The holidays, as every year, arrived amidst a split among Lebanese and the faithful cannot hide their concerns about their country .They are split," Sfeir said in the message.
"Nations can only survive with its citizens' sacrifices," he urged.
"Loyalty to Lebanon must be sacred even if there are interests in foreign countries," Sfeir added.
"God gave us a beautiful country rich in history … and this should motivate us to sacrifice."
