Mother Agnes Mariam de la Croix (born 1952) is a Christian nun. She is mother superior of the monastery of St James the Mutilated in Syria, a Melkite Greek Catholic monastery in the town of Qara in the Homs diocese. She is outspoken regarding the Syrian Civil War. ==Early life== Born Marie Fadia Laham in Beirut, Lebanon, her Palestinian father had fled Nazareth at the time Israel was created in 1948〔Rowan Callick ("Christians 'emptied from Middle East'" ), ''The Australian'', 6 October 2012〕 while her mother was Lebanese.〔Carl Bunderson ("Carmelite nun from Syria describes pain of civil war" ), Catholic News Agency, 21 November 2013〕 After her education by French nuns, she became a hippie for 2 years〔Monica Clark ("Controversial nun speaks out on war in Syria" ), ''National Catholic Reporter'', 14 November 2013〕 and, by her own admission, smoked marijuana〔Stephen Lacey ("Two of us" ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 1 December 2012〕 while travelling in Europe, India and Nepal. While in Nepal she was overcome by god's omnipotence and love〔 and then became a nun in the Carmelite order in 1971.〔 She worked to help displaced families from Lebanon's civil war. Mother Agnes gained the consent of the religious authorities to work with the Melkite Greek Catholic Church in 1992, and moved to Syria about two years later with the objective of restoring the monastery.〔 Mother Agnes said at an event in San Francisco during her American tour in 2013: "I used to hate Syrians who came to Lebanon to bomb us every day" during the country's civil war, but "then the Lord called me to Syria to a blessed adventure to restore an ancient monastery that was in ruins" and underwent a "conversion" after which she "learned never to hate anyone".〔
