Designates July 3 of each year as "Indian Christian Day (Yeshu Bakti Divas)" in NJ.

This joint resolution designates July 3 of each year as "Indian Christian Day (Yeshu Bakti Divas)" in New Jersey. It directly affects Indian Christian communities in the state, providing an annual opportunity to celebrate the message of Jesus Christ through worship, service to the poor, and promoting community unity. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance of the day. It references July 3 as the traditional martyrdom date of Saint Thomas the Apostle in India and aligns with the Decade of Celebration (2021-2030) honoring Jesus Christ's ministry. The designation is symbolic and commemorative, with no new funding or regulatory requirements.
