Kashmiri Muslims in large numbers thronged the Saint Lukes Church at the Dal gate area of Srinagar and served Kashmir’s traditional beverage- Kehwa, to the Christian devotees on the occasion of Christmas.
Eyewitnesses told The Kashmiriyat that Muslims from the neighborhood prepared Kehwa and made other arrangements for the devotees.
St Luke’s Church was reopened after thirty years on Thursday. Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha inaugurated the renovated church, which is more than a hundred years old.
The church was built in 1896 on the southwest slope of Koh e Maraan in Srinagar.
