quo;s municipal member Mrs. Randa Abo Saleh, and then the municipal chief took the stage and underlined the “importance of being unified by the joy and happiness in the historical city of Tyre that always offers a special example of life, loving, and co-living although the hard conditions that surround our beloved nation.” Dbouk then thanked Seklaoui “who constantly undertakes developmental initiatives in the city unifying its people under the divine love.”
Seklaoui later spoke: “Tyre represents Christians and Muslims, Quran and Bible, Mosque and Church, the Hara and Al-Hay, Imam Charafeddine and Archbishop Youssef Al-Khouri, Imam Sader and Archbishop ChekrAllah Haddad and Cheikh Moussa Zouheir. Tyre announced the love of Jesus and the mercy of Al-Mustapha. It taught us how to co-live and coexist, to love and recognize the other, as well as openness, moderation and forgiveness.”
“Departing from these qualities that Tyre beholds no wonder that the city would wear both Mawlid and Christmas decorations. No wonder that we would celebrate together our festivals. The unusual is not to be a united as a Lebanese family since what gathers us is the blessing of the only God, Christians as well as Muslims, unifying the decorations of both occasions, beautifying the city and gathering religions.”
To the crowd Seklaoui said: “it is our pleasure at the Regie to stay in touch with Tyre municipality and the traders union because faith is what characterizes us; faith of co-living, not only by words but also by acts. Once again we are gathered here in Tyre in order to offer a civilized model of openness and co-living.”
Seklaoui underlined that this is “a message of unity, love, and fraternity between the people, reflecting Tyre’s open, moderate and unifying figure.”
He passed President’s Berri congratulations describing him as “the man of development who owe much love and devotion to Tyre and whoever consecrates love between religions.”
The band of Kadmous School performed carols and anasheed for the occasion, and then the decoration and Christmas tree were illuminated.
