A friend who coincidently is now in Bangalore posted that this was her 6th Christmas abroad. I'm probably double that, but seldom take the opportunity to go to church. Here in Madurai there's plenty of churches, and after enquiring at the reception desk where an English speaking service was, the hotel manager invited me to join him for midnight mass. And what a joyful mass, there was so much music and dance and the congregation was full of beautiful voices. It certainly was a privilege to see in Christmas in this way and always brilliant to belt out some carols! After the service we all congregated outside the church holding candles and wishing everyone a merry Christmas, which was a lovely end to the service
