 Wednesday January 7, in Ethiopia, all the Christians celebrated Christmas Feast. People sent each other card, SMS: messages through mobiles phone and gave gifts to their families and friends. In homes and stores, evergreen trees glittered with colorful lights and ornaments. In some families, children looked forward to seeing a jolly, white-bearded man in a red suit named Santa Claus. Cheers!! Cheers!! Enkwan bsalam, bandenet, bfeqer, aderesatchiu !!! Melkam Gena!
Introduction: Christmas is based on the story of Christ’s birth as described from the New Testament in the Gospels of Mt 1:18-2:12 and Luke 1:26-56. It is a Christian festival celebrating birth of Jesus-Christ. |

 The Magi would have been startled, if their journey had ended at our nativity today, on the Epiphany. They would have found Mary without the child Jesus!
Yesterday night the statue of the Baby disappeared from the crib we had prepared outside the Mission Centre. A neighbour, today, came at the door and told us that she had seen some children going away with the statue. |

 “And when you’re in the mission, you should share your brother’s sorrows, joys, difficulties and all that happens to him.” SLF 339
Probably inspired by the above phrase from the “Spiritual Life” of the Founder, the South African delegation organized a two-day get together meeting. The missionaries spent the 29th and 30th day of Dec. 2008 at Damesfontein mission. The meeting was not just of a collection of individuals brought together by the winds of circumstances nor was it a mere meeting of members of the same society. |
