Christian church in Phnom Penh |
Today is Sunday and we are going to attend a Cambodian
Christmas celebration and church service.
If church would be like that where I live, or at my summer
retreat in Germany for that matter, I probably would go and attend every
Sunday!
Cambodian people are in general the friendliest and most
warm people imaginable, but here the vibe was even better. There was a lot of
singing, dancing, praying, all very cheerful and delightful. Since selfies were
actually invented in Cambodia the performances by the young, and older, dancers
and singers were recorded on the newest versions of the Samsung Galaxy smart
phone, nobody is bothered by me taking pictures, people are coming and going,
and the meal preparations outside for the after-church feast are underway.
The Christmas service lasted from 9:00 a.m. to noon, with
the usually socializing afterwards it is a 4+ our event. Very memorable.

Sunday afternoons, however, are made not for church, they
are reserved for work on motorcycles, and that’s what we planned to do.
