Phek, December 27 (MExN): Lekromi village under Phek District celebrated Lekromi Homecoming 2019 from December 23 to 25, which is the first of its kind to bring together all members of the village to celebrate its rich cultural heritage.
A press release received here stated that with the motto ‘Back to our roots’, inspired from Acts 17:25-27, it coincided with the celebration of Christmas and witnessed an attendance of over a thousand Lekromi members from all across and outside Nagaland.
There were several services and sessions conducted to encourage revisiting and taking an interest in preserving the heritage of the Kuzhamis, particularly the Lekromi history.
A book titled 'Lekromi Netho Dze' (The story of Lekromi village) was released by the first Ordained Minister of the village, Rev Züpelhi Mero, which documented the origin of Lekromi, historical timeline, its various rites and rituals that used to be observed before the coming of Christianity, alliances that it once shared with neighbouring and far-flung villages, pictorial images of cultural icons/places, and the demographics of its members.
