A Kerala Christmas in Norway
December in Rogaland is cold and dark — and that makes gathering all the more special. ARK's Christmas celebration brings together our community for an evening of warmth, music, food, and festive cheer that blends Kerala's own Christmas traditions with the Norwegian juletid spirit.
Kerala has one of India's richest Christian communities, and Christmas is celebrated with great joy back home — midnight masses, star lanterns, and feasts. Here in Norway, we carry those traditions with us.
The Evening Programme
- Welcome and carols — traditional Malayalam and English Christmas songs
- Cultural items — skits, dances, and musical performances
- Kerala Christmas feast — enjoy dishes that bring home a little closer
This is an inclusive celebration open to all members of the ARK community, regardless of faith or background. Everyone is welcome to share in the warmth of the season.
