The Christmas greeting to Christians from the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) states that the Christian people’s history, which has played a significant role in Myanmar’s political reforms throughout the eras, is still remembered today.
The message also stated the following:
“On the occasion of Christmas, December 25, which commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and is celebrated with lovely Christian customs with the goal of appearing various good things all over the world, the CRPH would like to send prayers that all Christians and ethnic people, as well as all Myanmar people, may be full of good things and happy in their hearts and minds.
We are really glad and proud that Christians value the truth and are uniting with other religions in this spring revolution against the military dictators’ illegal actions and injustices. The history of the Christian people which has played an important role in Myanmar’s political reforms throughout the eras, is still remembered today. Not only for future generations but also for the country, the consistent efforts of all of us will be seen and felt as the fruits of success in the near future.
The CRPH would like to extend its best wishes for a Merry Christmas, encouraging everyone to effectively use diversity as a superior strength, to retain the strength of unity that has already been developed, and to work together to build a new federal system and an all-inclusive democratic union.”
