German media reported that Christmas celebrations have returned to Syrian streets and churches this year.
Cities such as Damascus and Aleppo were decorated with lights and ornaments, and children took part in festive activities.
After years of war and destruction, the revival of Christmas traditions is seen as a symbol of hope and resilience.
Yet, despite the joy, Syrians remain cautious about the future, facing economic hardship, political instability, and fears of renewed conflict.
For many, Christmas is both a moment of happiness and a reminder of the challenges ahead.
