The Inter-religious Prayer Service was celebrated on the 14th August 2014, on the eve of Independence day.
Since 2015 is the year of Light, the theme for that morning was” Light” – one of the oldest and most meaningful symbols found in cultures and religions worldwide – a sign of purity.
The different religions were Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Islam, and Buddhism. The importance of Light and Holy Water in each of these religions were all portrayed with a reading from the Holy Books, a prayer dance and skits accompanied by visuals.
Deacon Ambrose Machado summed up the whole programme with the message that we are all children of “One God” and we need to join hands and stand together as ”One Body”.
The programme concluded with a vote of thanks by Fr. Andrew.
As the boys exited the hall they were given Prasad
RELIGION SUPPORTS HUMANITY – SPREADS LIGHT IN OUR LIFE
