Hundreds of Christians in Tripura attended the Christmas Eve Midnight Mass at Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral Church in Durjoynagar joining millions worldwide in festive celebrations.
Amid the chilly night, the faithful prayed for global peace, focusing on their state’s harmony and expressing hope that the Christmas festivities would contribute to restoring peace in the region. The priest emphasized the message that Jesus, born to bring peace to the world, symbolizes the season’s significance.

The atmosphere reverberated with carols sung throughout the evening, creating a festive ambiance as people, even those away from home, actively participated in the celebrations.
