Mumbai: Several city residents are flocking to churches, post-work, for practising Christmas carols in churches for the special eve of 24th December. Ushering in the festive mood are church choirs in the city with their repertoire of evergreen and traditional Christmas hymns that evoke the joy for the season started their practise.
Talking to this paper, bank employee Cecilia Rodricks said,“ After a huge tiring day we come here and practise with our choir.”
Samuel D’souza, who works with an IT firm said, “In most churches, the practice for Christmas starts months in advance. Once it begins, the singers and musicians are expected to report regularly for the sessions.”
Hectic work schedules do not prevent these choir singers from squeezing in time to practice singing Christmas carols in the evening at Mt.Carmel Church in Bandra.
