The celebration of
joy and unity
Christmas message
from Mr Kirit Patel,
chairman and CEO of
Motibhai Group
The holiday season is here
and it is the best time to be with
friends and families and spend
love-filled moments. Fiji has its
own unique and distinct way of
celebrating the festival of joy and
merry-making. As a religious
country, it is a joyous occasion
where Christians reflect on God’s
great love towards mankind.
Christmas in Fiji is a celebra-
tion of joy and unity, because
as Christians celebrate the birth
of Jesus Christ, our fellow Fi-
jians from other faiths also join
them in a great national celebra-
tion. This great national celebra-
tion brings us together around a
simple and inspiring message, to
love one another as we love our-
selves.
Christmas comes once in a
year and we should not let go of
the wonderful chance of express-
ing our love for our friends and
families and celebrate the mo-
ments of togetherness and joy.
The teachings of Jesus Christ
hold many lessons on spiritual-
ity, forgiveness and morality, but
the central theme of his message
was always rooted in love. Love
for your neighbour, love for your
family and love for humanity.
Christmas is actually a repre-
sentation of the love we univer-
sally feel for mankind. Christians
have always believed that it is a
celebration of the birth of Christ
and the renewal of our belief in
God and Christianity. In reality,
Christmas can belong to anyone
as long as we express our love for
our loved ones and show them
that we care for them. The best part is that all sorts and joy and shower lots of bless-
