Christmas celebrated across country

The Christian community here today celebrated the Christmas in Bangladesh as elsewhere in the world with festivity and religious fervour commemorating the birthday of Jesus Christ.
The Christian people offered special prayers on the day with illuminating churches and installing makeshift Christmas trees at homes and places of worship and missions.
Elderly people of the community, attired in the outfit of Santa Claus, usually make fun with children and distribute gifts among kids as part of a universal Christian practice.
Various programmes were arranged to celebrate Christmas in all churches, including St. Mary Cathedral Church in city Kakrail area and in famous city hotels including InterContinental, Pan Pacific Sonargaon, The Westin and Radisson.
