The diary game ||Better Life with Steem|| Visiting the church on Christmas day
Hi friends,
I am Jyoti from India. In this post, I'm going to share with you about our visit to the church on Christmas day. I hope you like it.
The day before yesterday was Christmas Day, so I had more time because my son had a holiday. So I planned to make vegetable biryani and started working on it in the morning. My husband had bought fresh vegetables and brought them. I cleaned and cut them and made vegetable biryani in the morning. After that, I did other work at home. By then, my son and husband were getting ready. I also got ready, and we all had breakfast together.
Also, I planned to make a craft to commemorate Christmas on Christmas Day, and I made a "Merry Christmas" greeting using quilling paper. I have collected photos so that I can post the tutorial for it on Steemit. Also, since my son said that he has never been inside a church before, I took him to St. Michael's Church, the largest church in Coimbatore, to show him the church on Christmas Day and to show him how they celebrate Christmas.
This church is the largest church in Coimbatore. I have been here two or three times before, but this is the first time I have brought my son. The exterior of the church was very grand and artistic. We took pictures from outside and then went inside to take pictures.
On both sides of the facade of the church, there were statues of a God; on one side was the baby Jesus, and on the other side was the statue of Mother Mary. After looking at them, we went inside. As soon as I went inside, my son was amazed by the beauty and grandeur of the church.
Since it was Christmas Day, they made realistic miniatures of the events of Christ's birth and displayed them. In them, a cowshed, cows, sheep, and stars were placed as miniatures, and a statue of Joseph and Mary was placed nearby, making it look like the baby Jesus was born. It was very beautifully arranged.
We had gone to the church in the evening, so there was no puja or prayer going on in the church at that time. People had only come to visit the church. Some were sitting and meditating. Some were kneeling and praying to God. We were amazed by the beauty of the interior of the church. We sat on the bench for a while and meditated silently. After that, we looked at the paintings on both sides of the church. My husband kept showing my son the story of Jesus Christ through those paintings.
My son also listened to the stories with interest and asked many questions to learn more about them. My husband also told him about the Christian tradition and culture, and he learned everything about it. I also learned a lot of things through this.
This church was very beautifully designed. There were many pillars, and there was a huge dome on top. All the walls and pillars were carved with artistic designs, statues, and paintings. Inside, on the platform, a statue of Jesus Christ crucified was carved in a philosophical manner. Seeing it made me sad, and at the same time, I saw the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
My son was very happy after visiting this church. I was very satisfied that I showed him this church on Christmas Day and taught him about the Christian faith and culture. After visiting the church, we left and headed home. On the way, he asked my husband many questions. When we reached home, it was dark, and we had dinner.
Thus, Christmas Day was very good. I thank God for this good day. I hope you liked this diary. Please post your comments in my comment section.

Christmas celebrates the love of God through Christ to humanity. It is that time when people are encouraged to share more love and peace, and live the exemplary life of Christ as well.
I have always loved the Christian faith for this.
Reading about this reminds me of the need to hold onto the true essence of the celebration. Judging from the photos and your descriptions, I noticed you visited Catholic church.
I've been there about once or twice and I admire their ability to maintain so many Christian traditions.
I'm glad that your son enjoyed learning about these things. There is no greater way to enjoy the Christmas festival than paying a short visit to the church.
