"A Sudanese woman who refused to recant her Christian faith in the face of a death sentence arrived
Thursday in the United States, where she was welcomed first by the mayor of Philadelphia as a "world freedom fighter" and later by cheering supporters waving American flags in New Hampshire.
Meriam Ibrahim flew from Rome to Philadelphia with her husband and two children, en route to Manchester, where her husband has family and where they will make their new home.
Her husband, Daniel Wani, briefly thanked New Hampshire's Sudanese community on his family's behalf and said he appreciated the outpouring of support.
"Thank you so much," he said, tears streaming down his face. "I am so relieved. The ordeal is over."
Ibrahim 27, smiled and waved to the crowd of about three dozen supporters, but she did not speak publicly." ABC

we will rejoice and be glad in it.
