Christian and interfaith leaders joined hands in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi to celebrate the Christmas season with a message of unity and peace.
Cardinal Joseph Coutts, the archbishop of Karachi, led the celebrations at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Dec. 12.
“We should not only gather to celebrate but we have to be one in each other’s difficult times. We were united a few years back when the Ismaili community was targeted,” he recalled, referring to the 2015 Islamic State terrorist attack that left 45 people dead.
