Orthodox Priest Killed In Syria While Giving Medical Aid


On January 25, 2012 Greek Orthodox Hieromonk Basilios Nassar was shot by an armed terrorist group in Hama, Syria on the second day of heavy fighting there. Fr. Basilios was at the Metropolis when he was informed by a phone call that a parishioner of his was shot and needed assistance. The Patriarchate of Antioch has reported that the 30-year-old priest was shot while giving medical aid to the wounded man who was previously shot. Fr. Basilios was shot in the chest and in the right armpit. Immediately another priest, Fr. Panteleimon Isa, who was with him dragged his bloody body to a nearby building to save him, but the martyr for Christ Father Basilios was dead within 30 minutes from hemorrhaging. His funeral took place today, January 26th, in the Church of Saint George in Hama. The blessed Father Basilios, known in the world as Mazin, was born in 1982 in the village of Kfarmpo in Hama and was a graduate of the Theological School of Balamand. He was also a teacher of Byzantine Music in the school Saint Kosmas the Melodist which he founded in the Metropolis.

    Dear in Christ John,
    I translated this post into French, and will put it on my blog (http://orthodoxologie.blogspot.com/) tomorrow!
    May the memory of Father Basilios the Good Samaritan be eternal!

    Prêtre orthodoxe tué en Syrie en portant secours...
    Le 25 Janvier 2012 le hiéromoine grec orthodoxe Basilios Nassar a été abattu par un groupe terroriste armé à Hama, en Syrie, le deuxième jour de violents combats là-bas. Père Basilios était à la Métropole où il a été informé par un appel téléphonique qu'un de ses paroissiens avait été blessé et avait besoin d'aide. Le Patriarcat d'Antioche a rapporté que le prêtre de 30 ans a été abattu en donnant une aide médicale à l'homme qui avait été blessé par balles auparavant. Père Basilios a reçu des balles dans la poitrine et dans l'aisselle droite. Immédiatement un autre prêtre, le Père Pantéleimon Isa, qui était avec lui, a traîné son corps ensanglanté vers un bâtiment voisin pour le sauver, mais Père Basilios, le martyr pour le Christ, était mort dans les 30 minutes à cause de l'hémorragie.
    Ses funérailles ont eu lieu aujourd'hui, 26 Janvier dans l'église Saint-Georges à Hama. Le bienheureux Père Basilios, connu dans le monde comme Mazin, est né en 1982 dans le village de Kfarmpo à Hama et était diplômé de l'École théologique de Balamand. Il était également professeur de Musique Byzantine à l'école Saint Côme le Mélode, qu'il a fondé dans la Métropole.
