Experiencing a Christmas in Macau in the course of your Macau tours is one of the best things that can ever happen to you. Macau is hailed as a Special Administrative Region of the great land of China. Christmas in Macau is celebrated with as much pomp, éclat and fanfare as it is in the nations of the Occident. This is because Macau was once home to Portuguese immigrants who established their settlements on its soils for a span of time that exceeded four centuries before China took possession of the region.
Animals which are associated with Christmas are generally reindeer. But Christmas in Macau also finds the presence of dragons of various shapes and sizes as objects of decoration along with mistletoe and hollies and berries. This is because the festival of Christmas in Macau is celebrated by incorporating in the fiesta Chinese traditions that amalgamate beautifully with the usual traditions of a western styled Christmas.
Jesuit priests had established several churches in Macau which are visited by thousands of locals as well as tourists during Christmas in Macau. The churches are all lit up with lovely and fragrant candles and emanate the mellifluous sounds of Christmas carols and songs in praise of the Lord sung by nuns and priests during 24th and 25th of December. The people of Macau are engulfed in a universal spirit of merrymaking and rejoicing during Christmas in Macau and espouse the ideals preached by the great Savior by participating in theaters enacted for fund raising to aid the cause of charity and being genuinely concerned about the under privileged of the society.
Macau is home to a bishopric that came into being during the sixteenth century. The current head of the order is a Chinese who holds the distinction of being the first Chinese head of the bishopric. Macau not only boasts of a Roman Catholic order of monks but also of chapels that are inherently Protestant. All these churches and chapels spearhead the celebrations of Christmas in Macau and are frequented by several Christians on extensive Macau tours during the Yuletide season. Christmas in Macau is thus a grand festival in Macau.
