(Puj Dada Ratanchandji lighting a candle at the altar of Lord Jesus Christ)A tiny town of Bethlehem was setup at the altar with infant Jesus in the manger. A Christmas tree, beautifully lit up and decorated, caught the admiration of devotees. Shewaadaaris created an atmosphere of the cold starry night and snowfall. Puj Dada Ratanchandji lit a candle at midnight and devotees sang carols. The children were delighted to meet Santa Claus who distributed gifts to the little ones and all the devotees present. The festive atmosphere was on till the first week of January and the candles kept burning till then.
