AT churches in Dhaka and across the country Christmas carols, prayers, and special Masses marked the biggest festival of the Christian community. The birth of baby Jesus was celebrated on December 25 and there was something for every age group. Some devoted themselves to prayers, some in the choir, some were all about the Christmas dinner party while others more interested in what Father Christmas had in his bag or a ride on a choo-choo train.
