Festival Of Goa


	Like elsewhere in the world, December 25 is celebrated in India too as the nativity of Jesus Christ with traditional joy and gaiety. In fact, it cuts across the limits of the Church to spill over into the streets for all to participate. It is a time for merry-making and exchanging gifts in Goa, for Christmas is also about cakes and puddings. Santa Clause Has Come To Town The market places are all embellished with tinsel and buntings and people masquerading as Santa stalk customers, particularly children with gifts in the big cities. Decorated and glittering Christmas trees are all over the place. For the devout, the celebrations begin on Christmas Eve. Carols are sung and various churches organize the midnight Mass. The service on Christmas Day is attended by Christians dressed in new clothes. After the morning congregation is over, people assemble in their homes for the family get-togethers.

Dewali is the day when the festive focus has shifted from the city stores and markets to homes and hearths. Everyone greeting everyone else with warmth and affection. Goa wears a festive look with colourful "Akashdive" (skylamps) and festoons.

A Celebration Of Good's Victory Over Evil
In Diwali's symbolic victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness, giant effigies of the demon 'Narkasura' are burnt in the early hours of the morning. Before the burning ceremony of these effigies are paraded in the streets of Panjim, Mapusa, Margao and Vasco. Even in villages like Assagao, youngsters put up sizable Narkasuras.
