"Children were seen getting creative with their Christmas artwork at a special event at St Anthony's Catholic Church in Cairo on Sunday. Footage shows the youngsters at work, along with a special visitor - Santa Claus. "The idea came from the children themselves," said Sharif Samir, leader of the choir. "We took their drawings and printed them on their shirts, which became the uniform they wore during their [festive] performance at the event. We hope this message reaches all children around the world, a message of love and peace." In the Catholic and other Western churches, Christmas is celebrated on December 25, marking the birth of Jesus Christ. Santa Claus - also known as Father Christmas - delivers gifts to children the same day. "
