NORTHERN IRAQ
St. Addai church: A Christian Iraqi woman cries after seeing the St. Addai church, which was damaged by Islamic State fighters during their occupation of Keramlis village, less than 18 miles southeast of Mosul, Iraq, on Sunday. There were gasps, and then tears, at the small church in northern Iraq as a group of Christians returned to their parish to find everything had been destroyed, including the statue of the Virgin Mary which IS militants decapitated before they left. The church bell tolled for the first time in more than two years, but few can summon hope for the future.
