Merry Christmas ! Christians in India are unique and one of the oldest in the world...Proud to be part of this great country..
Jai Hind bhai
Great Presentation of Christmas celebrations all over India. Loved it. May love and brotherhood continue to reign in our country 😊
Merry Christmas to all the people of Indians🌲🙏
Merry Christmas to all Indians.
It is so beautiful how Christianity blends with local traditions. While so many people focus on the differences there are so many similarities. Merry Christmas.
It's not blending it's assimilation. That's how they digest the local culture and make them their own. That's how Christianity spread in initial stages.
You think Christmas has got anything to do with Christianity?
It doesn't. It was a pagan festival on which they used to worship the Mitra( The sun God) to mark winter solstice and welcomed summer.
Same as Makar Sankranti in India.
Nothing merry about Christmas especially not Santa Claus. Read what Saint Nikolas (santa Claus) used to do.
@@vaibhavyadav9912 Right, I couldn't find the word lol.
@@vaibhavyadav9912 , to be accurate winter solstice falls on 22nd dec, here is the reason for celebrating on 25th:
Antiochus IV (Epiphanes), the king of Syria, captured Jerusalem in 167 BC and desecrated the Temple by offering the sacrifice of a pig on an altar to Zeus (the Abomination of Desolation). n seeking to prohibit Judaism and Hellenize the Jews, Antiochus forbade their religious practices and commanded that copies of the Law be burned, all of which is related by Josephus in the Antiquities of the Jews (XII.5.4).
On December 165 BC Judas, who was called Maccabeus, led a Jewish Army and by the miraculous grace of God defeated the army of Antiochus overcame them drove them out and reclaimed the temple and they won the Victory and reclaimed the temple December 25th 165 BC
Hanukkah Hanukah means dedication
At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, (John 10:22)
22It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah, the Festival of Dedication. 23He was in the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon’s Colonnade. 24The people surrounded him and asked, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” (John 10:22-23)
@@vaibhavyadav9912stop the lies dude.. Christianity is very compatible with cultures and Christmis the remembrance of the birth of Jesus.
@@kkiv1639 If you think that Sun festival of 25 December wasn't digested by Early Christians as Christmas and birth of Christ, it's your lack of knowledge.
Just Read some history. Greko-Roman people used to worship the sun to wave winter off after winter solstice on and around 25 December.
First world Christianity now maybe tolerant, obviously because of lack of political power and guilt, but the way Christianity operates in developing countries is a lot different and worse. Because it resembles the starting period of Christianity, in which they used lies and deceit to convert people.
Thank u India today for your warmth wishes..May this Christmas brings each one of us united with love in generations to come... Merry Christmas to all of u... Greetings from Garo Hills, Meghalaya❤🎄🤝
Merry Christmas i love my india
A lovely collage of Indian Christmas traditions. ❤
Merry Christmas 🎄💞 to our Christian brothers and sisters🎉
India is all love.. let it be Diwali, eid or Christmas..we just want to celebrate
Don't associate hindus and hindu festival ( diwali ) with ur abrahmic religions.
@@Warlord25and what is your problem..? Get some education and life
@@Warlord25even Hindu is abrhmic without abrhmic you cant come in tribe of israel 😂
Hindus love everything peaceful!!! Christians are peaceful while mullahs are 🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️
@@Warlord25Sorry , I forgot that Hindu is religion were most of the texts written in Indo European language Sanskrit
Can anyone give a shout out to the OG Christians' in India... that was in Kerala 2000 years ago... Also they do the plum cake thing in Kerala as well (they do caroling, lighting their houses, make wine and use fruits & nuts to make their plum cakes)...
Also there is Christmas Cakes in Kerala, its over 100 years old tradition.
Maybe India today not interested in kerala as bjp will lose again there.
Note the sudden change of heart in India today .They ,for 9 years have been making false allegations that Christians forcibly convert hindus to Christianity..
The Christians forget how this channel and it's hindi counterpart aajtak has been instrumental in portraying Christians in bad light and making mountain out of a mole without any evidence..They have been inciting the majority hindus against Christians in their propaganda series..
They kept silent for whole 2 months in Manipur violence issue and only mentioned the gang rape of 2 Christian tribal women,when its video was leaked online..
Elections are near in 2024 and bjps image has to be made spotless.
How about a shout out to OG pagans whose Sun worshipping festival early christians stole.
There are no OG Christians in Kerala. Stop this missionary non sense.
There maybe OG Jews but not Christians.
@@vaibhavyadav9912 dood , before you get your head out of our backside. You realize, that the majority of faith believers in the world is CHRISTIANS.
1) You foolish fool, have you even been to Kerala?
2) Do you know what a Christian is?
3) Name 10 things about Christianity
4) Yes, there are elements that have been borrowed from other parts and cultures, that is acceptable and completely normal, as time progresses. Almost any festival, has been an adaptation of something else..... WHAT is your point in that?
5) There are Jews and Christians that predate the arrival of Vasco's crew.
@@vaibhavyadav9912 and with your stoopid reply, i'm just gonna have to say :
6) There was Christians there pre 1000 AD.
7) Do you think a story came out of your a$$, about Mr.Thomas?
8) go read upon the contributions of Kerala to the land of India... Literally the spice trade was the nexus of Kerala.
9) go read a book rather than your indoctrination of a few internal sources...!
@@vaibhavyadav9912You are also the reason, why the rest of the world thinks poorly of your country... Some uneducated simps, trying to counter a major religion by stating "missionary".... Silly Billy goatherder ...!
Merry Christmas everyone ❤ from a proud Indian
Lovely summary on Christmas celebration across the country..Merry Christmas to all.
Thanks India Today for your wounderfull explanation around India. I myself learnt at lot from India Today 🇮🇳 ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
This is godi media..For 9 years this channel showed Christians in bad light and made propaganda video against them .They also falsely alleged that Christians are forcibly converting hindus to Christianity without a single shred of evidence..Why this sudden change of heart then ?
Well, elections are near and bjps image has to be made good.
This is a propaganda channel.
This is a great presentation by India Today. Wonderful work
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 everyone
Merry Christmas to all of you
Yeah. Where is Tamilnadu😅 In Tamilnadu, Christmas is celebrated with singing traditional tamil Christmas songs. Also Lighting stars at home, singing choir songs, decorating the Christmas tree and finally Christmas feast in Church.
Christmas in Hyderabad/ Secunderabad ..Telangana...Merry Christmas to all
Great presentation!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas to everyone!
India is a Great Country and proud to be a Christian Indian from the North East!
Shame on those “thugs” who attack Christmas celebrations in the name of religion!
Shame on the church for digesting 25 December as their own festival and associate it with Christ, when clearly it was a pagan festival which marked the coming of summer after winter solstice by worshipping sun God.
Shame on deceitful nature of Christianity.
Missed kanyakumari, rich local tradition with Christmas
Love you India Today 🇮🇳
Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎀🎁
Merry Christmas from goa
Merry Christmas from Meghalaya 🙂🌲☃️🎅
A very good presentation! Congrats.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it!
Happy Christmas everyone.
Much appropriated for sharing this kinda GooD News for Indian
Thank you for the lovely❤ Christmas news. I am and my family are Christians from our lovely land India. Jesus loves India and Merry Christmas everyone.
The Fact tha Saint Thomas Apostle arrived to India means that India is a Country of Apostolic Tradition and thus a country where christianity begun as much as Palestine, Italy, Spain, Egypt, Turkye and All the Countries where the Apostles preached.
Beautiful!
Merry Christmas! ❤ from New York
Very nice iam so happy to see you're beautiful news channel thanks
Thankyou sis for sharing with us all
Merry Christmas ❤️❤️
I think everyone should visit Meghalaya and Kolkata particularly park Street during Christmas. You will be amazed to see the crowd at Kolkata. 😂. Infact people even joke that Jesus was born in park Street, Kolkata and many believe it too 😂
Wishing merry Christmas to all
Thank you, Pooja , for this charming report on Christmas celebrations throughout India.I learned a lot about each State's cuisine in all its diversity; It was gratifying to note that the celebrations attract people of diverse faiths and backgrounds in an unequivocal expression of their cordial relations. The decision by India Today to cover this event and your captivating narrative is truly appreciated . Compliments of the Season and Happy New Year.
Goa have other sweets called dodol.
, gons and korbollam. There are many dances during the whole week of Christmas and one can find lot of cribs .People serenade the whole villages with carols.and the whole Goa is heavily decorated with stars which is unique in the world .Please do visit us during Christmas season in Goa India.MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
Sure 😃 Also do you make the people aware as to how exactly Goa came to be heavily Christianised? Do you teach them about the Inquisitions and the inhumane torture of Hindus, destruction of temples? Do you teach them about the Pagan history of Christmas and how earlier people used to worship the Sun God on 25 December to mark the coming of summer after winter solstice, and how the church and early Christians stole it?
Do you teach them about Saint Nikolas (santa Claus) and his deeds?
Guess not... well merry Christmas then, if there's anything merry about it 🙂
I know the history very well my friend .Christianity was there before the Portuguese arrived in Goa .Portuguese rules were very strict no crimes no murders .People use to keep their doors open and go anywhere they want. But now every second murder done by people from outside Goa.Goa from peaceful place become crime and murder capital of India.all crimes and murders are done by outsiders our Hindu brethren comes to all our functions and churches and we go to Hindu functions. So I really don't know what's itching you
@@paulocabral8916 Haha that's what you tell yourself to have a good sleep at night?
Read a fkcin book. Read about Saint Xavier. Read what Goa Inquisition was? Read how churches were made atop hindu temples. Read how hindu natives were locked in rooms for days and were forced to eat each other's $hi8 until they have been converted.
"Hindu gods and their idols are as dirty as they are ugly and horrible to look at. Witnessing the destruction of temples and idols gives me so much joy" - St. Xavier of Goa.
So don't you call Hindus ever as your "brethren".
Lies and deceit- that's what Christianity ever was and is still now.
That's what "itches" me.
Merry Christmas. May the Lord Jesus bless us all
Happy Christmas
Very well presented.
Very well explained.
All aspects of the Indian scenario of Christmas covered !Thanks India Today !

MERRY XMAS
Merry Christmas to all.
There’s one Christian community that is always left behind, search for East Indian Mumbaikars, indigenous of Mumbai
This is godi media .For 9 years this channel was instrumental in inciting hatred against Christians and falsely alleging that Christians forcibly convert hindus without any evidence .They never missed an opportunity to show Christians in bad light.This sudden change of heart is due to elections in 2024 and for the creating of good image for bjp.
They kept quiet for 2 months in manipur violence issue until the video of hindus gangraping 2 tribal Christian women were leaked online .And then again they did the maun vrat on manipur..
These media know that people forget things too quickly when flattered.
JAISE HUM HINDUS 24*7 APNE GHARO ME JALTI JYOT RAKHTE HAI HAMARE GHARO KI MANDIR ME EXACTLY AISE HI MAINE SOUTH INDIA KE BOHOT SE CHRISTIANS KE GHARO ME SAME TYPE KA DIYA DEKHA HAI JO 24*7 JALTA REHTA HAI EXACTLY HINDU RELIGION KI TARAH . JO INDIANS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATE KAR RAHE HAI UNKI RESPECT RAKHNE KE LIYE HUM SABKO APNE FELLOW INDIANS KO CHRISTMAS WISH KARNI HI CHAHIYE
Mam what about Mumbai? There are many Christians and Churches in Mumbai. The natives of Mumbai are called East Indian Community. They are Roman Catholics. Christmas is celebrated grandly right from 24th December midnight till Epiphany Feast (3 Kings Feast) that falls on 6th January which is actually celebrated on the following Sunday. In between Christmas and New Year, wish saying "Compliments of the Season 🎄
Thankyou madam for your well explanation 🙏
In Kolkata eating cake at Christmas season is a must for almost all communities here most of the bakeries are packed with cake orders all the stores are filled with cakes we are Bengali chriastain our joy of Christmas is distributions of cakes and other home made cookies home decoration is must for christains around all churches in bengal there are malas with rush of buyers its fun time for all may God our country
The Christmas cake of Prayagraj is very famous and people from Outside Prayagraj comes to bake cake here from cities like Luckmow, Kanpur and even New Delhi. The Allahabadi cake is aslo in Wikipedia. The largest and one of the oldest cathedral of north India is also in Prayagraj and is beautifully decorated
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton Son JESUS so that who ever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
It's a pity ..... Christianity isn't a religion. It is life with God through Jesus Christ. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour now.
pray & hope that the BJP-RSS will not come and attack, especially the cow belts. Merry Christmas to all indeed.
Cow belts will never bother to attack if the missioNazis don't disturb. No missioNazis,No cow belts . Happy xmas🎄
said the nazi abrahamic pig
As long as missionaries don't try to convert its all ok its very irritates me when ever they force me to go church and do prayer I work in hospital as most Christians nun are there they call 1 hour early to sing Jesus song I wonder I am a Medico or some short of nun chanting Jesus Jesus I do not appreciate they don't respect other religion and force them to read Bible
@@boulevard7863 But many hindus and dalits are seeing visions of Christ and accepting him as their God and saviour while being quite about it.
What will you do now , stop visions ?
@@kpopvoodoowhy don't you reveal the name of the person who forced you to read Bible...And by force ,do you mean someone beat you , threatened you at gun point to go to a church ,and if yes kindly make a police complaint ..The law is always on your side .What is stopping you from doing that ..Just reveal the name of the person who forced you by dragging you to a church .
But u forgot to mention northeast india where Christians are majority in some states and recently sikkim celebrated very Big pre Christmas where is the news about that?
In Meghalaya garo tribe make beautiful Christmas anather level ❤❤❤
CHRISTIANITY BAHARI RELIGION HAI BUT INDIAN CHRISTIANS TOH HAMARE APNE HAI ISSS HI MITTI KE HAI . SO....
INDIA ME JO CHRISTIANS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATE KAR RAHE HAI UNKO WISH KARNA HI CHAHIYE HUM SABKO
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!
In Goa Akash Kandil is displayed during Deepawali and Christmas by our Hindu brethren and the Star and crib by our Christian brethren...
Everything said here is Same in Sri Lanka. Flower shaped cookies are sri Lankan traditional cookies called "kokkis".
Viewsh merry christmas and happe newyar 💓2024
Le sanki's -ban Christmas ☕️😂
I think in India🇮🇳 2023 Christian✝ percent will be high about 50% secretly
You missed Thrissur the place where Christianity originated in India. And Baun Natale Festival and other related mega events.
Good job my Christian brothers and sisters keep up ❤❤❤
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Meghalaya too.
80 lakh christians live in Kerala nd 50 lakh secret believers live in punjab
Merry Christmas for Indian Christian 🎉
For only Christians aa?🙂
In ur state Christmas is only celebrated by Christians?😮
Beef is a big cuisine for christmas celebrations. You ignored that fact.
Beef consuming states have it all through Out the year. For Christmas there are other more specific things too.
Meghalaya best in northeast
Yes not much about South Chennai and Bangalore
In rutal bengal there is Jishu kirtan
100 lakhs hindus in punjab
Yes you missed tripura
No mention of christmas tradition of largest christian population in India, that is in Kerala..?
It's a godi media after all..This channel has been for 9 years making false allegations without evidence that Christians have been forcibly converting hindus to Christianity and also making sure to portray Christians in bad light..It's a sudden change of heart .Something's fishy..Does election in 2024 ring a bell and also the task of creating a good image for bjp .
We Hindus are always ready for a party or celebration , we celebrate Christmas with as much pomp as Diwali. The masterful art of the devious Roman Catholic church was to ensure December was a holiday month for school kids , bonuses are paid to feed into the Xmas economy & western New year was built into the festive season. Pre xtian rituals , symbols , culinary cuisine reserved just for Xmas made it all that more special yet how many xtians will admit to the fact that 25th December was not the birthday of Jesus ? The Nativity is mostly made up of lies yet as the saying goes ' repeat a lie long enough & as many times as possible & it becomes a believable truth' . So Xmas to us Hindus us ABT the lunches , the revelry , the presents under the tree , the coca cola father Xmas , pudding & family time & holidays. Post exam stress free. The Indian xtian can do the religious part we will do the party part.
Since you couldn't stop hindus from celebrating Xmas,so now to feel good you say you will do the party only..We couldn't care less..No one can stop us from worshipping only one true living God no matter how hard you try..
The Roman empire tried it with burning Christians at stake and feeding Christians to hungry lions..What happened then ?
Well,to your disliking the whole Roman empire became Christians.
You know very well that hindus and dalits and Buddhists are throwing away idols of your dieties and many are accepting Jesus Christ as their God even after anti conversion law😂
And yeah don't assume we are naive , we very well know you threatened and beat up Christians from following Christ in VAIN.
hindus in India killing Christians , priests and pastors, vandalising church ,vehicles and Christian properties.They even loot the donation box ,threaten the Christian converts, stop Christmas celebration, burn santa claus effigies,stop Carol singing, burn Bibles, demand installation of hindu goddess in Christian institutions, chant strange hindu mantras inside a church , kill people for eating beef and send their children to study in a convent school.
Why don't you go to your baalwadi or your guru kool ?
No we don't celebrate Christmas and surely not as much as Diwali.
Maybe we'll celebrate Christmas when Christians will give this Sun worshipping festival back to Pagans and stop associating it with Christ.
@@vaibhavyadav9912Not you but we😊 You should visit Kolkata at the time of Christmas.
@@Diecastlover777 Yup I expect nothing else from Bengalis. Bengal, once known to be a beacon of Dharma, now Reduced to a birthing pit of Leftists and deranged Hindus.

Jesus is the truth of heaven n earth. Born of god's spirit. God is spirit worship him in Spirit the holy bible says.
Everything is same only God is replaced😢
God cannot be replaced coz all are the same
Only Jesus is the True God, Hinduism is a false cult
@@felixgeorge7611Naa we don't believe in ur abrahmic god's. Romans were smart they knew Jesus was fraud that's why they killed the madness
