A special holiday series
Christa Case Bryant
Today marks the last day of Hanukkah, when all eight candles of the menorah are lit in commemoration of the rededication of the Jewish temple. And later this week, many will celebrate Christmas and the enduring light of the Christ.聽
Our gift to you during this holiday season is a special collection of pieces from our correspondents around the world, from the White House to Beijing. We start Wednesday with Middle East correspondent Taylor Luck, writing on how he found hope 鈥� and a theme of home 鈥� in unlikely places during a challenging year. When he visited Syria after longtime strongman Bashar al-Assad fled, he met a man returning to his bombed-out house.聽
鈥淲e have won our country back,鈥� Taha Hader told Taylor. 鈥淓ven if our houses are destroyed, we finally have a home again.鈥澛�
Wherever you are, we hope you, too, find the light and peace of home this holiday season.
