1Shillong : Catholic failthfuls of Laitkor Parish perform Shad Paskha (Traditional dance celebrating Easter) at Laitkor on Easter Sunday. Elsewhere in Sawsymper, after the pilgrims’ acts of mortification and abnegation with a 13-hour pilgrimage on foot on March 27th and a historic Way of the Cross to Symper Hill on Good Friday, St. Stephen’s Parish culminated its Holy Week Devotions with a Solemn Eucharist in the morning and festive dances in the noon of Easter Sunday. Over 4000 Catholics from all over the Parish congregated in the Church Ground, and about 500 joined in the dance. Rev. Fr. Nolibar Khongshun, the Parish Priest, invited the people to be instruments of God’s peace. Later, dancers, comprising of men, women and children, attuned themselves to the Khasi traditional music.
