Iraqi Christians worshipper attends the mass in the 80-year-old Chaldean Catholic Church of Um al-Mauna, "Our Lady of Perpetual Help", in Mosul in northern Iraq. With joyful cheers and ululations, Iraqi Christians celebrated the church's restoration with a canonization and dedication ceremony on April 5, years after ISIS turned it into a religious police office and car bomb center.
