Christians in India celebrate their festivals broadly on the pattern adopted worldwide. However some influence of local Indian tradition is evident among Syrian Christians who use elephants, umbrellas and traditional music as accessories to their festivities and celebrations. Christmas is a major event in Indian Christian houses and one can see Catholic Goa come to life at this time of the year. The Carnival, preceding the Lenten period of penance is the most important event at Goa. A parade full of colour and gusto, it is a festival of life itself. |
