Sarawakian Catherine Unyang shares her childhood Christmas memories in her village of Long Pilah and how it has transformed into a vibrant celebration of faith and culture.
For Sarawak ian mother of three Catherine Unyang , childhood Christmas celebrations in her village of Long Pilah in Baram were far removed from the glimmer of baubles and fairy lights. They were much simpler. “We didn’t have much that time and there wasn’t much we could do in our village. So how we celebrated Christmas in my younger days was to bathe in the river, catch fish, and play at the nearby waterfall,” Catherine, who is Kayan , fondly reminisced.
The 58-year-old, who runs a handicraft store in Miri, said a lot has changed since then. These days, come Christmas, the idyllic village in the upriver reaches of Sarawak – a four-hour drive from Miri – transforms into a vibrant kaleidoscope of faith, family, and the echoes of an ancient culture amidst Yuletide festivities
