The Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago blessed the crèche on Tuesday at the Red House in Port of Spain.
The initiative by the presiding officers was intended to bring together staff and Members of Parliament in a spirit of celebration for the Christmas season. The Parliament Choir performed for the members.
The crèche was blessed by the Head of the Inter-Religious Organisation (IRO), Dr. Ellis Burris, who also called for unity beyond the season in his blessing.
“May they all live together in perfect harmony. Oh God, raise aloft the banner of the oneness of mankind. Oh God, establish the most great peace. Cement thou, Oh God, the hearts to gather. Oh Thou kind Father, gladden our hearts to the fragrance of Thy love. Strengthen our eyes to the light of Thine guidance. Delight our ears to the melody of Thy words.”
