1 Iraqis Celebrate Christmas Near Mosul After ISIS Pushed Out Photo: Chris McGrath / Getty Images A soldier stands watch on the rooftop as people arrive for the Christmas Day mass at Mar Hanna church in Qaraqosh on Dec. 25, 2016 in Mosul, Iraq. The predominantly Christian towns of Bartella and Qaraqosh on the outskirts of Mosul were recently liberated from ISIS as part of the Mosul offensive. The towns were heavily damaged and churches burned and defaced while under militant control. Christian communities around Mosul celebrated Christmas Day as the Mosul offensive continues. 1 / 12

Hundreds of Iraqi Christians held prayers at a church in the recently recaptured town for the first time since 2014, with the attendance of the U.S.-led coalition officers and senior Iraqi officers. 2 / 12

For the 300 Christians who braved rain and wind to attend the mass in their hometown, the ceremony provided them with as much holiday cheer as grim reminders of the war still raging on around their northern Iraqi town and the distant prospect of moving back home. Displaced when the Islamic State seized their town in 2014, they were bused into the town from Irbil, capital of the self-ruled Kurdish region, where they have lived for more than two years. 10 / 12
