Catholic Christmas Village creates festive stir
The Roman Catholic Church of the Ascension Grand launched its Annual Christmas Village in New Amsterdam last weekend. Christmas Villages have become popular in the Guyanese context during this time of Christmas.
Religious organisations like the Church of the Ascension have been hosting the family- events, with the first ever in Berbice, hosted by this church, in 2008.
Santa tries to make this little one a bit happy.
The event got underway just after 16:00 hrs on the Presbytery grounds. Vicar General Msgr Terrence Montrose, as usual, touched base with the parishioners at the event, after he had said Mass earlier in the day.
There were lots of goodies to eat and drink: Chicken curry and puri; metai; ice- cream; metem-gee; garlic pork (both prepared and bottled); all kinds of fried rice; chicken; Barbeque; all kinds of beverages; pepperpot, souse, pickled onions and the star favourite, punch a crème, which Msgr Montrose brought all the way from Georgetown.
There were Christmas decorations as well as clothing on sale and lots of games for the kids. There were all types of cakes. And Christmas music permeated the festive atmosphere.
The parish complex and outer environment were beautifully decorated with fairy- lights and other Christmas decorations, giving both a look and feel of Christmas.
And oh! Santa arrived in fine style, too; ringing the bell, alerting kids near and far to his presence. Santa Claus made his rounds across the complex greeting kids, even though some were bawling!
Events like these certainly add a thrill to the Christmas season, and create the atmosphere for Guyanese to enjoy their favourite Christmas delicacies, traditionally sought after during this time of the year.
