Summary
Advisory. This will be the first Christmas celebrated under the new normal. Christmas has always been a festival of hugs and togetherness. Yet we must keep distance from each other, we cannot hug or even shake hands for fear of contracting or spreading coronavirus. Our religious leaders tip us on how to celebrate and still remain safe, writes
Gabriel Buule.
Bishop Jacinto Kibuuka (The leader of the Antiochian Eastern Orthodox Church)
There are so many details that surround the celebration of Christmas that it is easy to miss the meaning especially at a time when there have been very few things to celebrate because of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, Ugandans should understand that this year’s Christmas is not about the parties, the presents and lots of things we see people do. It is not about the food, the festivities, or even about the Christmas cards.
