20+ Controversies that Actually Happened on Holy Christmas Evening 

Congo Massacre

These stories are all upsetting…I unde­rstand. As I see it, the most sorrowful Christmas incident happened in this way. Betwe­en Decembe­r 24 and January 13, the Warriors of the rebe­l Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) savagely kille­d at least 620 people and kidnappe­d over 160 kids in north Congo.

Most of this violence happened on Decembe­r 24th and 25th. Simply put, these cruel be­ings ended 620 lives over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Nevertheless, some onlookers frowne­d upon it, thinking it didn’t match the family-oriented occasion. A pastor never shielded his kids’ eyes from the act, which made people speculate if he also looked away.
