Not everyone has a saint in the family, but very soon BBC Arabic’s Eli Melki might. His ancestor Leonard Melki grew up in Lebanon and became a Capuchin monk. But the First World War fanned fears of Christians collaborating with Turkey’s enemies, and in 1915 many thousands were killed, including Leonard. Eli retraced his final journey.
