If you think that Christmas is still way away – think again! Before you know it, you will start hearing carols playing in coffee shops and decorations put up everywhere for the occasion. So it is essential to brush up on Tamil Christmas greetings early. Let’s get you ready!
The image of Christmas is mostly always a snowman, hot chocolate, and happy Christmas songs playing in the background. Though fireplaces are rare, add a fireplace to that image, and viola! Perfecto! But many, like the Tamil people, do not have snow and a sled during Christmas. But they have several exciting ways to celebrate the yuletide season.
Christmas In Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu is the southernmost part of India, and the number of Christians in Tamil Nadu is about 6% of the entire population, mostly Catholics. But everyone becomes part of the Christmas season irrespective of religion, and this is true all over the world that Christmas and Christmas wishes have become more cultural than religious. However, what would a Tamil Christmas look like?
Interesting fact: Did you know that one of the 12 apostles that followed Jesus traveled to Kerala long ago? It was in AD 52, and Thomas was the name of the apostle who crossed the seas to share the good news about Jesus, The Savior. On reaching the Indian shores, he baptized many, and this is considered the beginning of Christianity in India and the well-known St. Thomas Christians.
In Tamil Nadu, like many cultures, Christmas is spent with friends, family, and close ones. People go to the midnight mass on Christmas Eve, and many travels ahead of time to attend special church mass services.
December is the time of the year when people love shopping and enjoy giving gifts. Homes are well decorated with the Christmas theme, and there are lights everywhere, which is how Christmas is celebrated.
