    UNLOCKED: Bonus Episode 17 - The Christians of Syria
    Jan 8 2026

    This episode was originally recorded in 2024, shortly after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, and released on our Patreon that Christmas. https://www.patreon.com/c/whathappenedtosyria?vanity=user

    Apologies for the terrible audio quality on my end, I'm having a lot of issues with my computer and my mic, right now. Turning up the volume will probably help. Will try to have these tech issues fixed as soon as possible. -Sean

    Beshr, a Christian supporter of the Syrian Revolution originally from Homs, joins us to talk about Syria's Christian community and their long, storied history as one of Syria's oldest religions. We talk about everything from the Apostle Paul meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus and how Syrian Christians were treated by several Islamic empires over 1,400 years to their relationship with the Assad regime and the Syrian Revolution.

    The conversation takes some dark turns as Beshr describes historic persecution and recent horrors in Syria but we also try to inject positivity by looking at how Christians flourished during the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates as well as how Syrians celebrate Christmas.

    You won't want to miss this one, despite the dismal audio quality.

    UNLOCKED: BONUS EPISODE 16 - Christmas in Syria
    Dec 25 2024
    Milad majid! Did you know that Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 7th? This episode examines the millennia-long history of Christianity in Syria, the ways that Christians have participated in both the Syrian Revolution and Syrian Civil War, and ending with an overview of the country's Christmas traditions. This one's got everything from empires and caliphates to revolutionaries protesting against a dictator and even an immortal camel who brings presents to children once a year.
