MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS
To share the season of Holidays and Christmas festival, here is my journey to a great place of spirituality - Kurisumala in Kerala (India), which means mountain of the cross. This way, marks symbolically all the stops Christ made while carrying the Cross. This is a pilgrim center for Christians in Kerala. Many gather there during the Easter week to follow the way of the cross. Sculptures dot the way. At the top of the Kurisumala, there is a shrine with sculptures of Jesus Christ.
Hope you will enjoy this walk with me on this Christmas Day...

Shashi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing...I am a believer in Jesus Christ and seeing anything that resembles his love for us as dying on the cross is close to my heart. He is alive and living though...Amen! And Merry Christmas! Peace be with you this New Year coming ~
