Merry Christmas today
Thursday, 25 December 2014
Christian community across the country is celebrating the holy Christmas today (Thursday) commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ amid festivity and religious fervour. Christians are offering special prayers, illuminate churches, decorate Christmas trees at homes and places of worship and missions. Bangladesh Television, Bangladesh Betar and private television channels will air special programmes marking the day while national dailies published supplements highlighting the significance of the day. Relatively elder people of the community attired in the outfit of Santa Claus make fun with children and distribute gifts as part of a universal Christian practice, according to a news agency.
