Christmas HistoryChristmas in India celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, represents a time for the family, and fosters peace and goodwill among all. Packed with vibrant decorations, choral music, and holiday feasts, Christmas is a love, harmony, and brotherhood festival. Despite India's predominant Hinduism, Christmas, with its universal messages of hope and unity, extends far beyond religious boundaries, engaging people of all faiths and backgrounds. The introduction of Christmas in India dates back to the late 15th century, coinciding with the arrival of European missionaries. Over time, the festival intertwined with local customs, resulting in a unique Indian touch to the global celebration. Factors such as church services, nativity plays, and festive processions are crucial to Indian Christmas celebrations, as is the tradition of exchanging gifts. Among indigenous tribes in states like Mizoram and Nagaland, Christmas is marked by community feasts, cultural performances, and week-long festivities. Christmas in India is observed with diverse customs, given its multicultural milieu. Unlike Western countries where the event is marked by winter, Christmas in India falls during mild weather conditions, with Churches decorated with poinsettia flowers and candles. In southern states, Christians often place clay oil-burning lamps on roofs to symbolize Jesus as the 'Light of the World.' In Goa, known for its historic Christian population, Midnight Mass or 'Miss De Gallo' is a religious highlight, gathering families for a communal holiday celebration. Similarly, in eastern states, communities hold street processions featuring traditional dances and songs. Christmas in this colourful nation uniquely merges global traditions with local customs, ensuring a celebration elsewhere unmatched in its beauty and diversity. Christmas facts
