The Mass began with verses from the Holy Quran, followed by an air show carried out by a squadron of the Lebanese Air Force over the area of ​​the explosion, in tribute to the martyrs and victims of the tragic blast, represented by the flight of a helicopter upwards towards the sky, embodying the souls of the martyrs. Three other helicopters also painted with their smoke the colors of the Lebanese flag in the sky.

Then, across a wide screen, the lighting of a candle and rising of prayers from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was shown.

After that, the names of all the victims of the explosion were recited, and then a minute of silence was observed in honor of the souls of the fallen martyrs.
