Christmas in India

India is no exception to the Christmas season. There might be a minority of 2% of the population who are Christian, but that doesn’t stop those individuals from soaking in all of the Christmas spirit they can. Because India is so large, each country within the continent has its own way of celebrating this time in December. Church mass plays a major role to the Roman Catholics wandering the streets of India, Southern parts of India light put a lantern on their roofs to symbolize the importance of Jesus, and some people in North-West India fast an entire week leading up to the Christmas holiday.
