Christmas has arrived for the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth at a time when the world is still shivering under the spell of a mortal adversary.
The global coronavirus pandemic has hit the most celebrated Christian feast, which usually comes with much enthusiasm and fanfare.
The fear of death continues to dominate the festive season. Billions of Christians across the world have been forced to cut short Christmas celebrations both spiritually and physically. This is unprecedented for believers of Christ who upheld their faith against great adversities like war, famine, plague, natural disasters and tyranny.
