Gaza's small Christian community is striving to find hope and celebrate the holiday season amid the devastation caused by ongoing conflict. Many, like 76-year-old Attallah Tarazi, are sheltering in church compounds, clinging to faith and tradition despite the loss of loved ones and the destruction of their homes. The usual festive gatherings are subdued, with many friends and relatives having fled the region, and those who remain trying to create moments of joy for their children through simple decorations and gifts. The community faces uncertainty, grief, and the fear that their presence in Gaza may dwindle further, but they remain determined to hold onto their faith and identity in the land they call home.
