Dimapur, Dec. 22 (EMN): Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Saturday extended Christmas greeting on the state government’s behalf.
“Christmas is not just a time for celebration and merry making but a time to rededicate our lives and renew our faith in the Almighty God. As the Angels proclaimed good tidings of great joy to mankind more than two thousand years ago, this Christmas season too resonates with the same message. The birth of Jesus is a message of love, peace, joy, forgiveness and redemption.
“May this Christmas bring healing and forgiveness to everyone through Jesus Christ, who is the Prince of Peace, the Comforter, the source of joy and hope for humanity. I also appeal to all sections to spread the message of unity and oneness during this period of festivities. May we strengthen our bonds of love and friendship with one another as we strive for achievement of real and genuine peace, even as we celebrate the birth of the King of Kings.
“I wish all success to all the programs, services and events during Christmas and may we all spread the message of love for His glory. My family joins me in wishing one and all a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year,” the message read.
