Dorchadas a bh\u00ed ann nuair a cuireadh d\u00e9ithe br\u00e9ige in ionad Dhia Iosrael. Ansin f\u00e9achann s\u00e9 ar aghaidh nuair a bheidh an bua ar an dorchadas sin.

Labhra\u00edonn an ch\u00e9ad mh\u00edr, a l\u00e9itear inniu, ar staid dhiaga Chr\u00edost agus ar a r\u00f3l i stair an tsl\u00e1naithe.
