Infant Jesus Feast: FIRST DAY OF THE TRIDUUM @ Pushpashrama
The flag unfurled high in the sky on January 4, 2017 Thursday as the day marked the beginning of the Triduum of the feast of the Infant Jesus. With the theme, “Meet the poor, follow Christ”, Fr. Valentine set the ball rolling by hoisting the flag after invoking the graces of the Infant Jesus. People then marched devoutly to participate in the Tamil mass celebrated by him. Soon after this, followed the masses in Kannada and English which were presided over by Frs. Joseph Pinto and Nitesh Rodrigues respectively. As the theme for the feast was based on loving the poor, the liturgy on the first day was intricately woven on the Poverty of Disciples. The Tamil association Choir, the Rajiv Nagar Parish choir and the Pushpashrama brothers lent out their voices to add more flavor to the liturgy. Devotees, who had flocked in large numbers from and around Mysore, were also served food after all the three masses.
