Choir group drawn from different cities across the state gave special rendition of Christmas songs and anthems.
His Excellency , the Ondo state Governor read from the book of Isaiah 61, verses 1 to 11. He noted that it is expected of Christians to see this season not just about indulging in the excitement of its festivity , rather we should engage ourselves thoughtfully about the real essence of the birth of Jesus.
Gifts were also offered to special people at the event to show them love at this special season from the state government.
