Pongal celebrations in a church are a beautiful blend of faith, culture, and community spirit. The event begins with a special thanksgiving service, where devotees gather to offer prayers of gratitude to God for the bountiful harvest. The altar is often adorned with colourful decorations, including sugarcane, banana tree, mango leaves and traditional clay pots symbolizing the essence of Pongal. Hymns and sermons highlight the importance of gratitude and unity, bringing a spiritual dimension to the festival.
After the service, traditional Pongal dishes are prepared and shared among the congregation, fostering fellowship and joy. The celebration not only honours cultural heritage but also strengthens the bond of love and faith among the church members.
