Iraqi Christians Celebrate Christmas in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, IRAQ, DECEMBER 25: Iraqi Christians light candles after attending Christmas mass at the Virgin Mary church on December 25, 2008 in Baghdad, Iraq. Iraqi Christians celebrated Christmas as security continues to improve in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. Although there has been some reduction in violence in Iraq, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom expressed its concern about "severe abuses of religious freedom" of non-Muslim Iraqis which include ChaldoAssyrian Christians, other Christians, Sabean Mandaeans, and Yazidis.
