Christians in Myanmar celebrate Christmas in Karenni and Chin states under threat of attack

Christmas looked very different in Myanmar again this year, as it has each of the last three years since the 2021 military coup.

As fighting between regime and resistance forces have spread throughout the country, many Christians have had to observe the holiday away from their homes and loved ones, living in refugee and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps under the constant threat of attack by the Myanmar military, or being uprooted and relocated by their host country.
