Christmas
Christmas is the observance of Jesus’ humble birth to a virgin in a stable in Bethlehem. Christmas is celebrated on 25th of December and it also celebrates the events surrounding Jesus' birth, such as an angel’s appearance to shepherds, telling them to visit the newborn king.
Just like number of organisations and churches in Australia celebrates Christmas, BAI celebrates this event by organising Carol visits to the member families and holds a stage event in December involving different cultural activities.
