(24 Dec 2016) A large crowd attended a Christmas Mass on Saturday evening at Istanbul's largest catholic church, Beyoglu's Church of St. Anthony of Padua.
After the Mass, Rafal Basim, a visitor from Iraq, said she wished "to have more peace in the world".
In another part of the city, members of Istanbul's Jewish community lit a menorah to mark the beginning of the festival of Hanukkah.
The event was attended by Turkey's chief rabbi, Ishak Haleva, and Deputy Prime Minister Veysi Kaynak.
The Hanukkah festival commemorates a victory by outnumbered Jewish forces over Syrian occupation and the reclaiming of the second Temple of Jerusalem in the second century BC.
