    i suggest when you had your next vacation, do it during holy week. Well, that's really what life is in other land, espacially in your status, your in KSA where christianity is not that open. Christian celebration is not that prohibited in KSA though but you should not bring your religion outside your house.

    You don't and you can't if you are in Saudi. Just pray silently in the confines of your room. Some Arab countries like Oman allow other religions to be practiced but never in Saudi.

    You may check with your country's embassy in Saudi arabia. They usually have arragements for their people.

    usually you can find them celebrating privitly so all we need to do is to find where are they doing it and start crashing on people :o)

    my god is always with me whether i openly praise him or praise him with my heart and soul, you are the church not the building. unlike our muslim freinds we know our god is omnipresent not having to face one way so he hears our prayers. did he not answer Moses Abraham and all of those before Mohamed.
