Season’s Greetings to you, my fellow Virgin Islanders, friends and visitors.

To All of the wonderful people of the Virgin Islands, Friends and Visitors alike.

It is with great joy that I greet you my people of the First District and the entire Virgin Islands, including all visitors to our lovely shores, in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and soon coming King. Despite our challenges in 2015, we the people of these beautiful Virgin Islands have a lot to thank God for.  For sure, if you can hear, see or read this message then it means that you are still alive.

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2015  A Merry Christmas to all: both residents and visitors of these magnificent Virgin Islands, particularly my constituents of the Third Electoral District.  I am Julian Fraser, Representative for the Third District, and Leader of The Opposition.    On November 16th I attended a prayer of thanksgiving service by the BVI Christian Council marking the end of our last hurricane season, to which thanks was given to God for sparing the territory yet another season from a single hurricane hit.  Our territory has been fortunate in that regard, and such a service was very much in order.    However, as we view the world today, we must acknowledge that the Virgin Islands are no different from Paris, Mali, or San Bernardino where residents and visitors alike has within the past weeks fallen victims to the hands of terrorists.
