Christmas in Moraikobai – a grand occasion

At a church Christmas party

Christmas is a grand occasion in the Amerindian community of Moraikobai, with many former residents returning to celebrate with their relatives. 

Located 96 miles up the Mahaicony Creek, the quiet community comes alive during the festive season with Christmas Carols and other music.

Some residents would also repaint their houses for the holidays and start cleaning, putting up decorations, new curtains and Christmas trees by the end of November.
