On 16 September 2011, Rev. Fr. Leo Alex mentioned that the father of Jesus Christ was a carpenter, and the latter used to assit the former. Further, he emphasized that all Disciples of Christ were workers like fishermen, farmers. He said certain things with the meaning that a farmer must get, say, Re. 100/- for every cucumber produced by him. He deplored that due to the marketing conditions he did not get even Re. 1/-. He added that the farmers and workers must be duly compensated by the society so that they too would enjoy all amenities just like any other people.
He, further, said that the red-flag stood for the amelioration of the living standards of the workers. Actually, this flag – in India - exploits them.
On 18 September 2011, Rev. Fr. Dhen Singh said that man - as a rule - gets maximum pain from his loved ones- father from his son and vice versa. Despite this, he said, that man is to love and to be loved.Some photos, taken on the last two days of the festival, are given below.
