In a rare show of love and understanding, youths of both religions marked the birth of Jesus Christ with fanfare in the Confluence State.
The Muslim youths, mostly from Cantonment, Karaworo and Kabawa streets, trooped out and waited at the main gate of the St. Mary’s Catholic Church Diocese, opposite Karaworo Street, for their Christian brothers to finish service.
The Muslim youths joined the Christians immediately the service ended. They mingled and displayed fireworks to the admiration of residents.
Many parents joined the youths in the celebration.
An unidentified politician in a black Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) parked his vehicle and joined the youths in the celebration.
He brought out some fire crackers and fired them up. The politician also distributed money to the youths.
A resident of Karaworo, Mallam Amuda Dan Sulaiman, told The Nation that the joint Christmas eve celebration had become an annual event in the area.
