Melkite Roman Catholic Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, Youssef al-Absi, congratulated the Lebanese in general, and Arabs and Muslims in particular, on the blessed Eid al-Fitr.

In an issued statement by his media office today, the Patriarch hoped that “the meanings of the Eid will constitute a station to spread the values of the occasion and the atmosphere of harmony, tolerance and concerted efforts to extricate Lebanon from its social, economic and political crises, and to achieve peoples’ aspirations and advance towards a better future.”
