While the situation in Syria remains bleak, a small miracle keeps hope alive & inspires to keep on praying & do whatever can be done to bring on repentance where needed & alleviate pain & suffering. May those who kidnapped them turn from there former ways & find Jesus Christ. A summary from the Antiochioan archdiocese:

On the Sunday of Orthodoxy, March 9, 2014, multiple media outlets including a leading newspaper in Lebanon, The Daily Star, reported that the thirteen nuns held in captivity by Syrian rebels for over three months were freed late in the day, as a result of Lebanese and Qatari mediation. Officers from Lebanon's General Security received the nuns on the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Arsal.
