The Chapter in a message by its Chairman, Mrs Seun Boye, observed that the true essence of Christmas is sacrifice, which was exemplified by the death of Christ for the redemption of the souls of mankind on the cross of Calvary.

” The sacrifice by our Lord Jesus Christ made the celebration of Christmas, which the world now celebrate with fanfare a reality, hence the need for mankind to imbibe the spirit of sacrifice and love by engaging in sacrificial service to humanity which is pivotal “, she said.
