The true spirit of the birth of Jesus Christ by Gwen Herat St. Stephen’s is one of the oldest churches in Sri Lanka, almost 200 years old. Built against the picturesque setting of the green burgeon and the blue heavens it possesses some ancient stained-glass paintings that are priceless. Very few Anglicans worship here because Marawila is pre-dominantly a Roman Catholic area. The vicar in charge is Rev S.L.W. Padmasiri, a very modest young priest who has dedicated his life to God and sets an example of what spiritual contact with God symbolises. He has never deviated from the basics of life nor does he preach people to desist from what they require to lead a happy life. Other Stories
