The 2025 'First Fruits Harvest Festival' celebrations of the St. Mary's Indian Orthodox Cathedral in Bahrain have concluded.
The family gathering, held at the Bahrain Keraleeya Samajam (BKS), was notable for various programs, including cultural performances, food stalls, a flash mob, a musical concert, and a tug-of-war competition.
The public meeting, presided over by Cathedral Vicar Fr. Jacob Thomas Karackal, featured BKS President P.V. Radhakrishna Pillai as the Chief Guest. Cathedral Secretary Binu Mathew Eappen delivered the welcome address. Fr. Thomas Kutty P.N., Saji George, and Vinu Paulose offered felicitations. The main organizers of the events were Jacob Kochummen, Binoy George, and Binu George.
The musical fusion by prominent Kerala singers Kaushik Vinod and Punya Pradeep, along with the satirical performance (Hasya Chakyarkoothu) by mimicry artist Pradeep Pulani, added brilliance to the programs.
The conveners were honored with mementos. Program Convener Monsy Geevarghese delivered the vote of thanks.
