Mother Agapia, a New York native, has been an Orthodox Christian nun for over 35 years. From 1996-2006 she served at the St Mary Magdalene Convent in Jerusalem and its affiliated Orthodox Girls School of Bethany and developed a close relationship with the Palestinians, particularly the Christians communities. Organizing pilgrimages twice a year from the US to the Holy Land has kept those bonds strong and compels her to be a voice for the Palestinian Christian communities suffering under Israeli occupation.

Honey Thaljieh is a Palestinian Christian from Bethlehem who broke barriers as co-founder and the first captain of the Palestinian women’s national football team. A global advocate, speaker and changemaker, she has dedicated her journey to advancing women, challenging stereotypes and using sport as a force for dignity and social change. Rooted in the city where Christianity was born, her story brings together faith, Palestinian identity and a lifelong belief in the power of humanity to overcome walls and build bridges.
