Welcome on the Holyday Season
Christmas is a festival of family traditions, celebrations, greetings and gifts, as it is worldwide. This is very much in tune with the sentiments of the Indian people, who love traditions and celebrations. An occasion to get together, pray, feast, enjoy each other's company, exchange notes with relatives and friends, be blessed by the elders - these are all a part of any Indian's festival, whether urban or rural, whether Hindu, Moslem, Sikh, Buddhist or Christian. Moreover, Indians have an affinity for Mother Mary and Infant Jesus, and love to celebrate Jesus' birthday with the same fervor as they celebrate Lord Krishna's birthday on Janmashtami. In most of the major cities in India, there is no disparity between a Christian and a non-Christian during Christmas, any one and everyone will attend midnight mass in the local church. They go to the House of God to pray and for blessings, which probably has more to do with spirituality than religion.
