The Full Version | The True Message of Christmas

Описание: This introductory story of a child being born in a manger as a tribal, child born to poverty and squalor, a Refugee, a migrant, a son of a daily wager, is symbolic of the wisdom of the universe seeking our agency and our collective action towards the creation of a world fit for all children, fit for everyone.
The lyrics of this unusual Christmas Carol speaks of the symbolism of Christmas and the invitation to seek an equitable, inclusive, forgiving, sustainable and just world that calls out structures that favour the rich, the powerful and the greedy, even as it alienates the vulnerable and brutalised Mother Earth and her poor. This Christmas carol cleverly incorporates the Manifesto of Jesus that He proclaimed on the first day of his mission and something that he would die for, on the cross as the culmination of his earthly mission. While this birth was symbolically celebrated by Angels and Shepherds and wise ones and outcasts and animals it was a birth that was looked with suspicion and violence by political and religious leaders of his time.
This Jesus seeks followers not worshipers.

Yes when the song of the angles is stilled.. The work of Christmas begins.

Make this your Christmas greeting, even as you personally vouch for the genuine, efficient and impactful work of PRATYeK that builds on the agency of vulnerable children to convert the hearts of the powerful and the oppressive laws, structures, policies, budgets, propaganda and leadership.
