CWN.org - Victims of the recent violence against Christians in India haven't had much to cheer about.

Many are still homeless and confined to relief camps.

But this week the Global Council of Indian Christians brought a bit of Christmas joy to the lives of 21 widows. The women were brought to festivities in Bangalore.

Their husbands were killed this fall when militant hindus attacked their villages near Kandhamal.

Militant Hindus are threatening more violence against Orissa state Christians this Christmas season.
