Church appeals to CM for Christian presence in cabinet Celebrate Christmas with simplicity sans grandeur, says Archbishop Toppo
Ranchi Archbishop Felix Toppo advised the faithful to ensure that Christmas this year is celebrated with simplicity and without grandeur, while the Church appealed to chief minister Hemant Soren to appoint a Christian minister in his cabinet to look after the interests of the minority community.

Ranchi: With less than a week to go for Christmas, shops here are all decked up with lights, stars and other decorative items but the buyers are nowhere in sight.
“At this time of the year, we hardly find a minute to relax as shops are bursting at the seams. But this year, I am sitting idle and have not even been able to sell a single greeting card yet, which usually sells like hot cakes ahead of Christmas and New Year’s,” Ramesh Prasad, who owns Hallmark Epsy at Purulia Road in Ranchi, said. He added, “To make matters worse, schools, colleges are yet to reopen, which has further added to our woes. Last year my shop was abuzz with students from nearby schools and colleges weeks ahead of Christmas.”
Ranch: A fresh advisory issued by the Ranchi Archdiocese under the Roman Catholic Church, has called for a less extravagant and more spiritual celebration, urging devotees to make Christmas lighting and decorations this year more austere.
“We recommend that you build a beautiful crib at home using decorative items in your possession without making more purchases this year. Limit illuminations to a Christmas star and avoid adorning houses with lights,” a directive, jointly signed by Ranci archbishop Felix Toppo and auxiliary bishop of Ranchi Theodore Mascarenhas said.
“Don’t burn fire crackers. We request our youth to avoid merry making on the streets and spend the Christmas night with their family,” the advisory further read.
