Indian Catholics hold up a child to receive a blessing at the shrine of Our Lady of Health at the annual feast of Mary's birth in Hyderabad in India on Wednesday.
The feast of Mary's nativity is a big day for Indian Catholics, as it is celebrated as a harvest festival and at many shrines newborns receive blessings. Just like India's large Hindu population celebrates the births of their many gods, Indian Catholics honour the day the Mother of their God was born.
