Over 6,000 Christians from all over the
state will gather at St Arnold’s School, Lala Ram Nagar from Thursday for the
three-day 8th Bible Mahotsav 2019. In a press conference announcing
the three-day fest, Bishop of Indore Rev Chacko Thottumarickal SVD shared that
father Anil Dev from Varanasi will be the main speaker of the three-day event.
“There are 9 dioceses in MP other than
Indore and bishops from all the diocese will be attending the mahotsav and
sharing their views with community members,” Thottumarickal said.
Archbishop Leo Cornelio SVD from Bhopal
would be another main speaker of the event to address youngsters. President of
Indore Christian Media Forum Fr John Paul SVD said, “We started organising this
fest, because an important aspect of our community is togetherness and sharing love.”
As people moved to different places and colonies, interactions were limited and
the communal feel was vanishing.
“This is like the Christian version of
Diwali, which we are celebrating on the same days as Dhanteras, Choti Diwali
and Diwali,” Paul said.
