The resolution designates July 3 of each year as Indian Christian Day (Yeshu Bakti Divas) in New Jersey, recognizing the significance of this date for Indian Christians. This day commemorates the martyrdom of Saint Thomas the Apostle, who is believed to have arrived in India in 52 AD and was martyred in 72 AD. The celebration aims to honor the contributions of Christianity to Indian culture and society, while also promoting unity and understanding among diverse communities. The initiative is part of a grassroots movement that encourages acts of love and service to the disadvantaged, aligning with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe Indian Christian Day with appropriate programs and activities. This observance not only allows Indian Christians to celebrate their unique cultural heritage but also invites participation from individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of language, custom, creed, region, or religion. By designating this day, New Jersey acknowledges the importance of preserving the identity of Indian Christians within the broader Indian cultural context.
