Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ

Early day motion 696, tabled 12 December 2022 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 9 members.

That this House recognises the true meaning of Christmas being the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as the first step of God's redemptive plan; highlights the greatest gift that was given that first Christmas of love and forgiveness in the form of a baby; expresses gratitude that we are able to openly practise and express our faith at Christmas and all the year through; thinks and prays for those in other nations where freedom of religious belief is only a dream and where persecution for faith is a daily battle; and takes the opportunity to wish everyone across this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland a blessed and safe Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Signatures by party: DUP 5, Conservative 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Scottish National Party 1.
