Dr. Abraham Mathai, Chairman of the Prabhu Yeshu Janmotsav (PYJ), had announced a historic gathering to mark the 60th Diamond Jubilee year of the annual Christmas celebration, which united the city's Christian community in a powerful testament to faith and harmony.

The 'Prabhu Yeshu Janmotsav' had a storied history, having been founded in 1965 by Lady Tara Cherian, the first woman Mayor of Chennai and wife of former Maharashtra Governor P.V. Cherian. For six decades, this annual music festival grew from a humble celebration into Mumbai's largest joint Christmas gathering, consistently promoting a message of divine love, peace, and communal harmony. It was graced by generations of dignitaries, cementing its place as a cherished cultural and spiritual tradition in the city's calendar.
