UmZinar2.jpg

A relic at the Church of Umzinar in Homs. Within the golden vessel you can make out what is said to be a girdle worn by the Blessed Virgin. Though the church was under heavy renovations, a steady flow of foot traffic came through while we were visiting, believers lighting votive candles and pleading intercessions on the way home from work or school.
