At Mother Mary Church in New Delhi, a serene festival atmosphere fills the surroundings as devotees gather to light candles. The soft glow of hundreds of flames creates a warm, spiritual ambience against the evening backdrop. People of all ages stand quietly in prayer, placing candles one by one near the altar and church walls. The scent of wax, gentle murmurs of devotion, and the soft ringing of church bells add depth to the moment. Each candle represents a prayer—some for gratitude, some for hope, and many for blessings. The scene becomes a beautiful display of faith, unity, and peaceful celebration at the holy Mother Mary Church.
