    Festival Customs Contd
    Christmas night is the next festival that there are old customs held on. On that night Jesus Christ was born at midnight and the people leave the doors open until twelve o'clock in honour in honour of the Blessed Virgin and St joseph and the child Jesus. There are candles left lighted on the windows in honour of Them also.
