For Christians, December is a month of celebration, celebrating the birth of the Savior, Jesus Christ, and the peace he has brought into the world.

After three years of the pandemic, the churches in China were able to celebrate Christmas with believers and seekers in 2023. Nationwide churches prepared in advance with decorations and various events.

During the events, many churches were packed with people. There were wonderful performances on the stage, such as hymns of praise, dances, Christmas plays, recitations, instrumental performances, etc. Pastors delivered sermons about the true meaning of Christmas. Churches across the country prepared presents for believers and seekers, bringing the warmth of the Lord's love to every attendee during the frigid winter days.

Continuing part 1, this photo album collects photos of 2023 Christmas activities at some churches and venues in China.
