INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith appealed to all Christians celebrating Christmas to give greater preference to the
spiritual aspect of the celebration instead of its commercial pomp and pageantry.Addressing a media briefing at the Bishops House yesterday,
he said that a special request had been made to the government to provide special security at churches to ensure the safety of those
attending Christmas mass at midnight on December 24th and 25th morning mass.
