SYRIA-CONFLICT-CHRISTIANS-MAALULA

A picture taken on May 14, 2014 shows burnt religious books, bibles and manuscripts at the old library of the monastery of Saint Takla in the ancient Christian town of Maalula, 56 kilometers northeast of the Syrian capital Damascus. Residents of Maalula returned to the historic Christian town in mid-April to mark Easter, glad that the Syrian army freed it from rebel control but pained at the widespread destruction. Christians make up some five percent of Syria's population and have largely avoided taking sides in the conflict that erupted in March 2011.
