Sunday a sacred and holy day for Christians: KJCLF

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaOctober 23, 2023

The Khasi Jaintia Christian Leaders Forum (KJCLF) on Monday said the Forum is not against the festivals organized by the state government.

“However, it (Forum) wishes to emphasise that Sunday is maintained as a sacred and holy day by Christians and Churches,” KJCLF secretary Rev Dr EH Kharkongor said in a statement.

Kharkongor said that the Forum wishes that the festivals be celebrated with peace and community participation and that it is free from any disruptions or disturbances to promote peace and harmony in the State. 

Recently, few NGOs have expressed strong opposition against the decision to conclude the upcoming Shillong Cherry Blossom festival on a Sunday.

The festival is scheduled to be held from November 17 to 19, which happens to be a Sunday.
