The tradition of celebrating Merry Christmas in Rajshahi is very old, although the number of Christians here is very poor. They live in different parts of Rajshahi. They have several beautiful churches throughout the city.
Christmas celebrations are mainly centered around these churches.
Christmas is the most important and religious festival of Christians. It is the biggest religious festival in the world. Bangladesh is no exception. This day has been celebrated in Bangladesh for almost 300 years. Christmas celebrations begin with prayer. During this time, Christians remember God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit through prayer. They exemplify the glory of Jesus Christ and his forgiving attributes. Many devotional songs are sung here. Dancing is also done in some places. The biggest attraction of celebrating the birth of this great person is the cutting of the cake.
Churches are lit at Christmas. The main building of the church, the nearby trees and the doorway are beautifully lightened. They do lighting in different places several days in advance. The churches of Rajshahi are brightly decorated. Pedestrians and visitors get a lot of pleasure from seeing it. On the day of the main event, people of other religions go there as well as Christians. Everyone participates in this joy.
Although the day is not celebrated on a grand scale in Rajshahi, it has an important significance. The tradition of people of different religions living together is strengthened through its success. People of all religions live happily in my city Rajshahi.
