His Beatitude Patriarch John X held the festive Vespers service for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy and Life-giving Cross in the Church of the Holy Cross (Al-Qassaa), in the presence of Bishops: Romanos (Al-Hannat), Youhanna (Batash), Arsenios (Dahdal) and Mousa (Al-Khasi), with many priests.

At the end of Vespers, the Scouts of the Church of the Cross performed a band music for the occasion, and the fire torch was lit.
