In this special interview with Father Toma Kakka of Assyrian Church of the East in Wellington, New Zealand, Sargon Warde of SBS Assyrian asked our guest some crucial questions regarding the true meaning of Christmas and how Christian Assyrians celebrate this event.
Father Toma Kakka explains why Christians started celebrating Christmas Day on 25 December and when this date was established in the Christian calendar. He also explores how Christmas in many western countries has evolved into an opportunity to make money through marketing and sales taking Christmas away from its real meaning.
Christmas is about love, forgiveness and giving, according to Father Kakka.
