Syrian Christians and Muslim clerics gather at a church in Damascus to hold mass for the people killed in explosions last week.

During the mass at Killeros church, Gregorios III Laham, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East for Greek Catholic, called for unity and dialogue in order to resolve all problems.

Afterwards thousands of Syrians marched towards the blast site where they lit candles and cheered President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian Army.

More than 27 people were killed and over 90 injured in two blasts that targeted a security building and a police centre in the Syrian capital.
