“For Christians, Jesus’s humble birth is a reminder that all human beings have equal value, and that no one is limited by the condition of their birth”.
Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama stressed this in his Christmas message saying the Christmas season is a time for joy, reflection and expressing our love for one another.
He says there are many who have been displaced and are suffering in the aftermath of the recent Tropical Depression and his government is doing all that it can to assist those in need, and asked those fortunate enough to be spared to join hands and help the fellow Fijians.
Bainimarama says Fijians of all faiths can share in that spirit of Christmas because the teachings of Jesus are universal.
He has encouraged all Fijians to make this Christmas a national celebration of unity by working side by side to assist those who need it most.
Bainimarama adds that Fiji has experienced great loss and great exhilaration this year ‑‑ the loss and suffering visited brught by Tropical Cyclone Winston and the joy and pride people felt in the triumph of our Rugby Sevens team at the Olympics.
He says Fiji was united through adversity and triumph.
