Iraqi Christians celebrate first Easter 'Holy Fire'
With joyous ululations, thousands of Iraqis have celebrated for the first time the arrival of the "Holy Fire" brought from Christianity's holiest site in Jerusalem to mark Orthodox Easter. With chanting and prayers, excited crowds gathered Saturday night to greet the flame's arrival at the Syriac Christian Orthodox Mar Matta monastery of Saint Matthew, about 28 kilometers (17 miles) from the war-ravaged city of Mosul in northern Iraq. The flame had been taken earlier Saturday from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem -- where Christian tradition says Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected.. According to believers, the fire descends from heaven on the eve of Easter, and is a symbol of Christ's Resurrection. From Jerusalem it was carried in a special lantern to Jordan, before being flown to Iraq -- a method that is used every year to take the flame to other Orthodox communities, including Greece. For the first time, the flame came directly to Iraq. To calls of "halleluia" and the clanging of cymbals, the lantern arrived carried by a bishop into the church at the monastery. 'HISTORIC' Celebrating crowds packed the courtyard and monastery church, where worshippers, monks and priests leaned forward to kiss the lantern and receive the blessing they believe the fire grants them. Iraqi Orthodox Christians share the flame of the "Holy Fire" brought from Jerusalem SAFIN HAMED AFP The crowds then lit candles from the flickering flame, filling the church with light. "It's a historic day," said Saad Youssef, a 60-year-old teacher. The region is home to one of the world's oldest Christian communities, but believers were hit hard under the onslaught of the Islamic State group (IS), who forced hundreds of thousands of Christians to flee. Nineveh province, surrounding Mosul, was left in ruins after three years of jihadist occupation which ended in 2017 when an Iraqi force backed by US-led coalition air strikes pushed them out. Iraq's Christian population has shrunk to fewer than 400,000 from around 1.5 million before the US-led invasion of 2003 that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. But monasteries and churches are being slowly restored, and Pope Francis made a historic visit to the region last year. "What I feel is the best emotion in the whole universe", said one of the faithful, a housewife in her fifties who gave her name as Ferial. © 2022 AFP

The Corn Is Green review – an inspirational heart-warmer in praise of good education
NATIONAL THEATRE, LONDON Emlyn Williams’ 1938 play is a kind of Billy Elliot of the Valleys: the old-fashioned but hugely entertaining and affecting story of a Welsh miner’s son who escapes his class-bound home town with the help of a bold schoolteacher It would be easy to write off this revival of Emlyn Williams’s semi-autobiographical drama as an example of post-lockdown “comfort theatre”. First performed in the West End in 1938, this tale of a talented Welsh miner’s son and his inspirational teacher is laced with sentimentality and tweeness. There is even a lilting choir of singing miners whose presence seems orchestrated to tug at our emotions. But if it _is _comfort viewing, it is undeniably artful, affecting and hugely entertaining. At its centre is the impoverished, illiterate Morgan Evans (Iwan Davies), whose teacher, Miss Moffat (Nicola Walker) gets him “over the wall” of his limited horizons and all the way to Oxford University. Evans is a Billy Elliot of the Valleys, of sorts, though the indomitable Miss Moffatt gives him lessons in Greek and Latin instead of dance. Continue reading...

Living inside the box: my life with agoraphobia
As a student, Graham Caveney suffered a severe panic attack while on a coach trip, a terrifying event that changed his life. He writes about the daily challenges of living with a fear of open spaces Thirty-plus years we’ve been together and still I don’t know you. Intimate stranger, phantom limb, as unreachable as you are familiar. You have sculpted my desires, my ambitions, been a mockery of the free will I was always told I had. I cannot think without you. You and me baby; we’re a neurotic two-step. Agoraphobia. I want to write the word in the middle of the page, leave it stranded, surrounded with nothing but icy white space. My attempt at revenge. From the Greek _agora_ meaning “marketplace”, _phobos_ meaning “fear”. The translation doesn’t quite cut it. I balk at its limitations. An insufficient word for a condition of insufficiency.
