Christmas Message From The Hon. Prime Minister
Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ whose life was marked by love, forgiveness
and mercy to all mankind. For centuries, His love has ignited the hearts of His followers who
celebrate His birth at Christmas by sharing that love with others.
This Christmas, let us be inspired by the embodiment of true Christian living so passionately
embraced by Christ. Let us rejoice in knowing the birth of Christ as an occasion to celebrate
the spirit of giving and sharing, empowered by a true sense of fellowship among all.
The message of Christmas is also a message that the world today wants to hear – it
transcends ethnic, religious and other man made limits, transforming lives and filling hearts
with the joy of the Season.
I am pleased to wish everyone a blessed Christmas that brings peace and harmony to all.
Ranil Wickremesinghe
Prime Minister
