On June 22, a suicide bomber struck a packed church in Damascus, killing at least 22 worshippers and injuring 63, according to state media.
Just 24 hours later, on June 23, thousands of residents poured into the streets of the Syrian capital to protest the deadly attack—a rare public display of outrage and solidarity.
Chanting slogans for peace and justice, the crowd highlighted the human toll of violence even as they mourned loved ones.
With grief still raw, these protesters sent a powerful message: amid sorrow, hope and unity can pave the way toward a more peaceful future.
