Mizoram observes missionary day 113th year of Christianity

Aizawl, Jan 12 (UNI) Churches across the state observed the 113th Missionary Day here today.

The introduction of alphabets for the Mizo language by two missionaries here was the turning point for the Mizo society, which boasts for having the second highest literate society in the country.

The two missionaries who were also affectionately called 'Zosap' which means 'Mizo white man' by the locals not only introduced formal education but they also introduced sanitation and hygiene here.
