New patriarch enthroned during a holy Liturgy in Damascus on Sunday amid civil war. John Yazigi (57) replaces Ignatius Hazim as the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East. Patriarch Ignatius died in December.

"We are certain that Syria will find a way to salvation through dialogue and a peaceful political solution," the Patriarch said after his inauguration that was broadcast live by Syrian State TV.
