EDEN 2025, hosted by the Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Youth Association (JSOYA), was a vibrant gathering that brought together young people aged 18–35 from parishes across the UK. Held at the Leicester Stage Suite on February 7th, the event was a wonderful opportunity for youth to dress up, connect, and celebrate fellowship in a joyful atmosphere. The evening was filled with entertaining games, energetic dance performances, delicious food, and, most importantly, great company. It was a beautiful chance to meet new friends from different parts of the country while also catching up with familiar faces, strengthening unity and friendship within our wider church community.
Members of our youth association attended the programme. Ciyona, Aleena, Joel & Ashwin represented our church.
