Kristang-only pageant makes it an Xmas to remember


By RSN

MELAKA: For Sara Frederica Santa Maria (pic), Christmas is more than just a holiday; it’s an opportunity to celebrate her cultural heritage. This year, she took it a step further by producing a Christmas pageant entirely in Kristang.

Sta Maria, a cultural enthusiast from the Portuguese Settlement in Ujong Pasir here, is passionate about preserving Kristang, a Creole language spoken by the Portuguese-descendant community in Melaka.
