India Decoration

Mango and Banana Trees

📖 About This Tradition

In India, where Christmas trees are not readily available, Christians decorate mango or banana trees instead. Some families also decorate their homes with mango leaves and oil lamps called 'diyas.' Christmas celebrations blend Christian traditions with local customs, including exchanging gifts and lighting fireworks.
