Minority Christians celebrate Christmas in Nepal
Updated on Dec 24, 2008 08:19 pm IST
Morning prayers to Jesus Christ are said and sang in a church in the heart of Kathmandu in Nepal, a country where Christianity was almost banned for almost 20 years. But these days, the followers are seen celebrating one of the most important religious days in their calendar - Christmas: the birth of Christ - out on the streets of Kathmandu. The congregations sing hymns and hand out sweets unlike in the past when they had to shun celebrations.
