Religious Programmes to Bless SLAC 64th Anniversary Held

On account of the forthcoming 64th Anniversary of the Sri Lanka Armoured Corps (SLAC), multi-religious observances were performed in the past few days in order to invoke blessings on the Corps.

Accordingly, Islamic religious ceremonies got underway on 4 December morning at Jumma Mosque Mutwal, followed by the Catholic prayers at St. Andrew's Church in Modera the same evening (4). Hindu religious ceremonies were held on Thursday (5) at Sri Venkateshwar Kovil in Modera before an all-night Pirith Chanting got underway on Monday (9). An alms-giving on Tuesday (10) at the SLAC Regimental HQ at Rock House brought the religious segment of the anniversary commemorations to end.

Major General Sathyapriya Liyanage, Colonel Commandant, SLAC and Chief of Staff as the Chief Guest, along with Senior Officers, Officers and Other Ranks took part in those religious programmes. He also gave away symbolic gifts and 'Pirikara' to members of the clergy who conducted those blessings. Elaborate arrangements are on to mark the 64th SLAC anniversary on Sunday (15).Sneakers Store | Sneakers Nike
