NEW DELHI, DECEMBER 25, 2025: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday attended the Christmas morning service at the iconic Cathedral Church of the Redemption in the Capital, joining a large congregation of Christians from Delhi and across North India. The service, led by Rt. Rev. Dr Paul Swarup, Bishop of Delhi, included prayers, carols, hymns and a special prayer for the Prime Minister.
Extending greetings to citizens, the PM added, “Wishing everyone a joyous Christmas filled with peace, compassion and hope. May the teachings of Jesus Christ strengthen harmony in our society.”
Over the past few years, the Prime Minister has maintained a consistent engagement with the Christian community. In Easter 2023, he attended a programme at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, Delhi, and during Christmas the same year, hosted an event at his residence, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg.
In 2024, he participated in a dinner hosted by Minister George Kurian and later attended a programme organised by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI).
The Prime Minister’s regular participation in such events underscores his ongoing outreach to the Christian community.
