Today is a holiday called Lohri. It's a Punjabi holiday that is dedicated to the end of the Winter Season. Tonight, many people will build fires and stand around them together singing songs and celebrating that the weather will begin to get warmer now. There are a few religious things that can be associated with the holiday, but for most people in Delhi it is just a "folk" holiday. They will sing folk songs, throw popcorn into the fire and sing and dance until the fire goes out. Drummers will walk around the neighborhoods and play for the people around the fires.
Please pray for those celebrating tonight. Please pray for the Christians that are in those groups of people celebrating Lohri. Pray that they use their opportunity with their friends and neighbors to tell a Bible story or teach a song about Jesus. Pray that they are bold in sharing their faith!
