A special ceremony to celebrate Christmas was held at the Presidential Secretariat yesterday (Dec 21) under the auspicies of Rev Dr. Malcom Cardinal Ranjith.
Rev. Malcom Ranjith addressing the gathering said the true spirit of Christmas is not the decorations or enjoyment gained by eating and drinking, but uniting to understand the suffering of the underprivileged and to take steps to provide assistance to them.
He also emphasized the importance of all leaders to work with commitment in order to create a better future for the underpriviledged and eradicate poverty.
Apostolic Nuncio in Sri Lanka Archbishop Pierre Nguyên Van Tot, priests and nuns, the Speaker Karu Jayasuriya, Minister John Amaratunga, Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa, Ministers and MPs including R. Sampanthan and many others participated in this Christmas celebration.
In a dramatic turn of events that could only be missed by those truly living under a rock, the eruption of a metaphorical ’’Supernova’’ in early January 2026 has signified the collapse of the world law and economic order as we know it.
A formal investigation committee has been appointed to probe an incident involving the sea plane that crashed into the Gregory Lake in Nuwara Eliya, the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka said today.
