Travel to India during Christmas Holidays

2007-12-10

Those looking for a special kind of Christmas this year could Travel to india and enjoy the festivities in the Indian sunshine.

Midnight heaps on Christmas Eve see local Christians fill up churches such as the Basilica of Bom Jesus, the Church of Our Lady of Rosary and The Church of St Anne, with their fame being such that guests are advised to obtain a pew early on.

The celebrations often spill out of the churches and reach the beaches and markets, making for a vibrant atmosphere across the region.

Christmas Day services traditionally see churchgoers dressed in brand new clothes, with family gatherings taking place later on in the day and lights being placed throughout Goa in a similar way to New Year.

The festivities go on for up to ten days after December 25th, with New Year's being celebrated with the ritual burning of an image and the end of the official Christmas period being manifested by a service and street procession on January 6th.
