Be careful dissing Vodou. The reason a religion like Vodou didn't develop in the U.S among American blacks and did in countries like Haiti & Cuba comes down to who our slavemasters were. Our English protestant slavemasters in the U.S put a bigger focus on banning African culture. But the Catholic Spanish,French and Portuguese slavemasters in the caribbean & Latin America were less hostile to African culture so more African culture was preserved in those countries.
Had U.S blacks had French slavemasters then maybe more African culture would be prevelant among U.S Blacks. So bascially the main difference between U.S Blacks and those in Haiti and Cuba was that each group had different slavemasters who had different ways of viewing their slaves culture.
You got it wrong only five tribes in Africa practiced till this day Voodoo, don't get us all mixedup only three tribes actually practiced Cannabolism. Before slavery the tribes of Africa was at least (70,000) seventy thousand. Why till this day African the majority of African tribes are against Voodoo and in Africa it is punishable by law to perform human sacrifice you will received the death penalty in Nigeria, and none of the 700 tribes practice voodoo. The people in Africa are against it.
@monkeys37 Now you can say well but the bible didn't condone that, It was just a Christian acting out. I will say religion is not just what you claim to believe it is What you do. And what ya'll have done has impacted even the bugs, the genes, all life from Chernobyl to Haiti herself. It aint about what you believe, or say you do, because some people are liars.
@monkeys37 whether you claim it or not Christian Whites and their followers have destroyed this planet. Never have Vodou practitioners risen to the level of worldwide holocaust that the Christian Western society has. You can claim those people were not real Christians, misguided, bad guys, even that it is all a lie, but even if Vodou practitioners sacrificed two people a day on every continent for the next thousand years it wouldn't rival what one Christian did in the Congo in 40 years.
@monkeys37 that is part of our religion. You don't consider Satanism, or witchcraft part of Christianity, but it is as much a part of that religion, having the same gods and symbolism etc. as some witchcraft version of Vodou. In general though molester priest and genocidal Christians get excused because Christians and White say okay that isn't our real religion. However nutjobs claiming Vodou, or some African tradition do crazy things and it's considered part of the tradition. Again...
@monkeys37 just got your comment about human sacrifice being part of Vodou and the molestation not being an actual part of the Catholic religion. First of all it sounds like you know nothing of Vodou. If there was some organized rite where they sacrifice children it either came out of the history of White murder, rape and insanity heaped on our people, or i tied to something people would call witchcraft. When people do witchcraft associated with Christianity Christians don't say oh yes cntd
Vodou is a beautiful religion. Christians should really ease up with the judging. I practice Buddhism myself and I deal with the same old christian negativity. Almost every violent war in the past 1000 years has been because christians are close minded and have to be right. The bible says Thou Shall Not Kill not Thou Shall Not Kill unless it's "in the name of God."
i am so fascinated by African culture, and those voodoo ceremonies seem so intense and ecstatic. i only wish animal sacrifice wasn't involved, then i would really understand it much better. i think if you make an offering to anyone, a god or human alike, it should be an offering of love and life, not of death and suffering.
Do it the African way, careless about what haters and jeaous people say. They know the power in what we have when we go back to our culture.n Keep it up!!
This is typical of Europeans. They "investigate" what others are do in the world, they teach you about it (being facetious).......really, it's exploitation! The Europeans are very disrespectful of honoring other people's beliefs and practices. Yet, we, as Afrikans, needed to be civilized by you (being facetious, again). Please leave the people alone!!!!!
i have been studying alot of traditional african religions and
more & more i see myself being drawn into it.
i grew up being taught that it was bad( by family, community, media) , but i feel a sort of connection with this. it's funny how african religions, indigenous religions, native american religions(etc.) are seen as bad but Christianity is see as good.....
are there any people who practice voodoo in Atlanta? i will be moving up there soon....
this part of BK is going to be cursed if they repent of this devil worship...do your homework and watch the statistics in this area from the time before this witchcraft and years later..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
vivelecorn ..i will pray for you but what people dont understand is the bondage from plain ignorance from GOD and vodoo which is worship of the devil is two different things...Voodoo curses the ground you walk on and the future generations that are to walk upon it
@benjaminqueens how dare you say anyone deserves a catastrophe! you have no heart and apparently no knowledge of the world. Vodou is beautiful religion and way of life.
Jesus did pass spirits and cleansed people spiritually from negative spirits. So whats your beef? He was a healer and made the dead come alive. He gave people messages from their deseased relatives. MUERTERO BIG TIME!
To all of you that mention Jesus..... He did talk to spirits, he was the biggest medium, him and his cousin the John the Baptist were Muerteros or Spiritist. All of you pentacostal or baptist work yours spirits and speak in tongues every sunday when you go to church. You're practicing voodoo and will go to hell.
@JuiceyAngel i did not read carefully enough when I voted up on you. i want to remove it. no one is going to "hell" for practicing voodoo...that is a terrible mean spirited thing to say and no good could possibly come of it. I am retracting. I think that being a medium is a healing practice.
It already is... I currently live here and it's turning to shit. You got wanna be "gangsta's" in this neighborhood. Either way it's always been "hell" here because we're so far out away from mass transportation...!
all of them are the rightfull owner of the fire. this is plain idolatry and who so does idolatry is following notting but satan. and everyone knows where satan's home will be in the day of judgement.
Alanasela, good thing you are God (because only God can judge; judge not lest thee be judged) and what Jesus-like judgments you are making in regards to loving your neighbor. (Saying the bible is God's word is idolatry, by the way.) It's okay, life is about learning and even you can learn to reject such hatred within yourself.
So put that dam idolatrous cross up, and that horrible bloodied sacrificial figure of Michelangelos brother whom you have been duped into believing is your Jesus. The REAL Jesus was AFRICAN and practiced the SAME religion as you see here. Remember, they called him SATAN too! Get a life you hypocritical fool.
what? jesus was black and practised voodoo? that must be the most unbelievable statement i've ever read. dont get me wrong, im black myself and i know how christianity branwashed my people into believing all inds of crazy stuff, but what you said was just too much. care to elaborate?
Yap in a churh were they lie and deceit people pators rape kids everyone talk shit on each other and money talk and yall worship a cross . Please,mack 7.7 go read it
Glory be to the children of the SUN, BLESSED children of the river NILE whose skin is brown as the fertile soil of mother EARTH, give thanks to the powers of creation, dance for the VODOUNS, sing songs to the VODOUNS, honour the ANCESTRAL SPIRITS and carry LOVE in your heart, oh beautiful children of PTAH glory be!!!
I understand what you are saying about white folks feeling priviledged enough to just go around collecting information about cultures that are not their own as if they are entitled to them, or as if they are some how trivialized or made quaint. This has been true and makes me feel so sad. But there is another side to this. It is also an undeniable compliment to your culture. A recognition of greatness and power. You should be proud that people of other cultures are mystified by your beauty.
I agree...at least she's sheding a postive light to the religion on Vodun. I don't think she mocks the religion at all...it seems as if she has a great interest in the religion.
the old saying holds true you can take africans out of africa but you cant take africa out of africans. keep our culture alive if our culture dies we die
@MiamiAfricanDrummer Likewise you can take the savage out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the savage. I read of a little boy being sacrificed by voodoo practitioners in London just last month. Is voodoo a religion or is it a death cult?
@monkeys37 and where do you come from? Who are your ancestors? If you claim humanity your ancestors did, or tried to do the same things. A boy was sacrificed? How many boys are raped and molested by the catholic church? There is an ocean of blood on the hands of so called Christians, the church and Europeans. You have no ground to stand on and claim anyone savage in the least. We are sacred and blessed people. Your history has given you no moral ground to say anything.
From a biblical perspective, in genesis when had completely manifested the physical realm, the creator pronounced "GOOD" yet the serpent (representative of the negative pole) was present in the Garden (the physical realm).
We all have free will.
It is only when we impose our will on others and deny them their birthright that we commit evil.
It is only when we are led (tempted) by selfishness, rather than by it's opposite of service that we are agents of evil.
"I know that you cannot possibly accept, tolerate, or endure those who think errantly, those who are wrong, injurious, or destructive. You have observed and objectively tested them, scrutinized and examined them through enquiry, piercing those who profess that they are godly messengers and special ambassadors, but are not, and have found them through examination and scrutiny to be false, deceitful liars, and erroneous deceivers." (Revelation 2:2)
The reason religions have prospered, and with them their associated oppression, death, and destruction, is that Yahushua's Assembly hasn't heeded this advice. If we had, there would have been no Catholicism, Islam, Vodou or Communism. These and all other deceptions would have been nipped in the bud.

YOU ARE CURSING YOUR NATION
STOP and turn to the only true GOD the GOD of abraham issac & Jacob
1st of all Africans were enslaved in the name of Jesus, 2nd christianity was forced on us, & your so-called religon does not apply to us. Africans knew GOD before white ppl ever existed. The only thing my ppl need salvation from is white oppression and christianity is one form of that systematic oppression.
@vmwye 100 agree with you! Christianity is a shameful religion roots of so many way of oppression and discrimination. I love Africa and everything that comes with it. Africa is the truth and sometimes it is so hard to look at it face to face, that is the reason why so many people are so afraid of everything that comes from the Black continent, Africa is the World root of everything including humanity itself
@rojurand I agree with you... in Vodoo we don't fight together but the Christian guy salways fighting together... The Adventist say they are the best than the others chretian groups and the Lutheran people say no, we the best than the Methodist and then the Pentecostal says we are the best ... So what is the fact? I don't say Vodoo is the religion but I can't compare my religion (Voddo) from them....
@vmwye You are a voodoo' slave; your gods are hungry thoughout the years. You must feed them a lot, and they give you stuffs to carry with you on the roads, in your bags and at home. As a Christian, I don't have to feed Jesus. He is never hungry. I don't have to travel in December to feed him. And, I don't have anything on me or at home for protection. He is so powerful that he covers me with no physical stuffs. I invite you to serve my Jesus, the highest GOD.
@RobertMStFleur You are a slave too. You think you have to thank a 2000 year old man-god for being tortured and killed. And you will be punished if you don't.
Thats even more pathetic then a real life slave who listens to his master.
@kavitchi are you trying to say that because other religion can see their god, it makes their faith less believable than vodoo? I Never see God, but I am sure he exists although I keep telling people that I do not believe in Him, I can see him, but his presence is so big that I can not denial, You such respect other believe if you want to be respected, The air is invisible, but we feel it and it is true, so respect others, I found Vodoo fascinating, but God should be greater than that
@rojurand Lol even though we practice Vodoo but we believe in only one God but we use the spirits to be in contact with him (try to understand my English) So I speak like that because by the way " ROBERT "is talking, he means that he's or his religion is better than others... but it not because I don't belive in God
@RobertMStFleur..... In Haiti there are thousands christian and they are more poor than the vodoo's guys... so happend to their god? the chritian in my country are very stupid people because of that religion , they don't know how to talk to others..... even the pastors who have studied Bible for saveral years and have the grace of God.... they always see what other people do and they never accept their falt... so let us alone with our Vodoo and we don't care about your religion... ok????
@vmwye If your ancestors hadn't been enslaved you'd probably be living in a mud hut right now. Get down on your knees every day and thank your voodoo gods that you're lucky enough to live among whites, as it's undoubtedly better than the alternative.
@vmwye WELL SAID!!! NOTICE THIS WHITE WOMEN IS BROADCASTING AS IF SHE IS WATCHING THE ZOO OR SOMETHING....SMH!!!.... GHEDE SHOULDA SHOULDA JUMP IN HER ASS... LOL
@vmwye Africans were never in slave The hebrews were in slave, and the hebrew were black people.AFrican And blacks are two different races. If as black here now are africans why do they hate blacks so much.and if we blacks. why didn't did the africans did not come and help us.
The truth is the African & the Arabs sold the blacks to the european. & when christ walk this earth he walk with preaching his father words the truth . Who told the people they were christian?
@LeviteQueen That is why Haiti and New Orleans are suffering. I SUFFER A WITCH NOT TO LIVE SAID THE LORD YOUR MAKER. YOU PEOPLE ARE SPIRITUAL MURDURERS. HUMAN SACRIFICE IS MURDER!!!
Funny. I was responding to different people but when I reload the video I noticed how my comments have run back to back. Funny. So many thoughts on this one. But mostly, fond memories. I have played at this house (Kay - pronounced like the world "eye" but with a "K" in front of it. Gosh... there is so much confusion about this way of life. It is much much deeper than even the most knowledgeable people can relate. But it is also so simple. It isn't a codified practice. So many nuances. So lovely.
but when they tell you about their jesus they only have good thing to say about him. so stop willingly being brainwashed it's time to open your eyes to see how mankind can be so evil towards other cultures jst because they don't understand it! Ay bo bo!
don't judge my culture because it comes from africa and you cant understand it. when the native americans were doing their spiritual dances and called out for spirits they call them savages, when africans are doing their dances, to get intouch with their belifs in their spiritual sides they call it satanic.
the same way white people have been telling you you are ugly because you are african is the same way they have been telling you that voodoo is not a cultural tradition jst because it came from africa. So used your braind to see where the real evil lies.
This is pretty cool. I think the spirit "possessions" that take place at these shindigs aren't real. I think it's just an excuse for the attendees to act out their aggressions and to speak their minds unfettered. You can't offend uncle Remus with the truth if it's the "spirit" on your back that's talkin' and not you, the horse. And it's a good excuse to get liquored up and let yourself go for a few hours. Nothing wrong with that, I guess.
@PrismaticRAYS, can people chew glass without cutting their tongues, touch fire without burning, or press a blade against their skin without cutting themselves, after getting liquored up?...
Any Christian who says that voudoo, obeah, Orisha worship, etc... is bad or satanic has not done their research. The very Jesus and Satan you are talking about comes from the more ancient spiritual systems. Christianity was forced on people. If Jesus was here... the real Jesus would be in every ceremony... being possessed... how do you think you talk to God. The Western media after slavery, filled your heads with lies about your own spirituality. Do the research than talk. Haiti is in trouble...

All of the people who are saying that this is just tradition are deceived!!!!As a haitan man i know first hand that this is satanic!!! Jesus is the only way!!! Voodo is evil and can only be used to destroy....or in exchange for your soul you can get money and things that will perish....stay AWAY from this!!!
Yeah, thats what the white man wanted our people to think. Beleive that some white man who the romans had killed is gods son and you will go to heaven; but if we follow our native religion we will end up in hell. No thanks, you can keep your Jesus.
You need to understand, Haiti is not in trouble because of voudoo itself. Voudun is just a tool to communicate with your true God-self. But any tool can be used in the wrong way. A knife can be used to cut a cake, slice bread... or it can be used to stab a man to death. The people who rule governments... when they do use these tools they use them for control of the people... and therefore it becomes a bad use of the tool. Do not shy away from your traditions without exploring them first.
if people whould stop listening to what the european tell you whats right and wrong and just listen to the universe, you would be able to enjoy this beautiful experience called vodou, i used to think it was some evil devilishment to i got into it now i can never go back
ppl need to stop hating on other ppls traditions. its not the fault of the africans that came here by force, and were forced to practice their oppressor's religion. if anything- ppl should embrace thier heritage while its still around. the island of Haiti was named after the Taino word for mountainous region. where r the tainos 2day? probably mixed in with the island's pop. taino customs and religion r gone- b/c of the ppl who invaded their territory. embrace & acknowlege ur heritage!

How can you call what your people practice 'shit'? You need to go read some history books and then reassess the 'shit' ignorant americans like YOU come out with.
Dangerous. Satan the devil, demons and associates: «There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium, a professional foreteller of events, or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to God, » Bible (De 18: 10 -12).
There is an equilibrium that must exist to achieve balance on this planet.There will be those who will NEVER understand,let alone (care to) ACCEPT the true essence of any religion/philosophy when it doesn't have christ in the picture. Great Character is what truly defines an individual, NOT WHAT CHURCH he/she attends or what belief he chooses to practice. I dare to claim that even Jesus would choose a man with great character OVER a religious hypocrite who attends to church every sunday.
Listen up, listen up closely....I am haitian and i am a proud haitian, this video is part of haitian culture, however one thing i can tell you of this culture which i dont partake in is that it hasnt helped our people advance nor has it helped our people stop eating mud pies and mud cookies. if someone wants to tell people of our race and pride lets post some videos of our independence, lets post videos of how we can actually help our race be something other than poor monsters.
I'm so tired of stupid fat americans who have the nerve to send anyone not christian in hell after they started Iraq war in the name of Jesus killing raping and murdering thousand innocents in the Christ, Bush even labelled a new bomb "the mother of all bombs". God only provides torture rapes war natural disasters gencide rampages and natural disasters.
Voodoo didn't help africans to escape muslims, then jews and christians slaverists. Christianism didn't save slave in fact they were forced to become christians. Jesus couldn't place your continent on a map, he though earth was flat, when will believers stop making this planet hell on earth ?
lol When did Jesus say the earth was flat? Who forced people to become christians? Can you quote me a verse? What did demons like papa guede do for the earth?
Papa Ghede, a demon? lololol Well, God bless you anyway, FDot. Ain't no reason to be spreadin' so much hate, no? Jesus didn't spread hate, and He let the Father judge, not a person, yeah? It won't be the preachers who reign on Judgment Day or any other, it will be Bondye... I don't agree with bizbuz, but there's no reason to go slandering Papa Ghede. If you don't like people slandering Jesus Christ, don't slander the lwa, please. The Bible teaches this: the golden rule. Peace starts with us.

he is a demon. You people are deceived, and vodou is a counterfeit religion. I was involved in this spiritual wickedness, but now I'm delivered. There is only one true spirit from God and that is the Holy Spirit.
search up: Rodney Howard Brown, If you want to see what the Holy Spirit is.
"15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood"
you know, i could say the exact same thing about your holy spirit! manipulating you into these false beliefs like original sin... a 'jealous god' who says you should only worship him...I do really wonder!
Yep, he made the earth and everything in it, so I'm not surprised that he would get jealous when the people he made in his likeness start worship and invoking spirits they don't understand. My family raised me in vodou, and the reason why I'm warning you is that when you invoke Guede and Baron it gives other spirits legal entry to remain in you. You'll end up full to the brim with evil spirits that will destroy your lives and relationships. I from the heart of it & know what I'm saying. watch!
yes, that's true a problem with possession is to make sure you don't get possessed by the evil spirits...but it's wrong to say that, all those spirits are evil and only christian stuff is good...that's the animist world, the world where spirits live on the earth but the christians get fooled into believing that they're all evil you just have to know the good ones from the bad!
BLESSED BE!!! AYIBOBO!!! :) Papa Ghede came to me in a dream a couple of days before one of my shipmates killed himself. Sadly and respectfully I did not know why I had the dream until after my shipmate's death. Less than a week before that dream, I even had a dream in which I saw a Vodou initiate get burried in the floor of an hounfor.
Vodou has helped me positivly in the most pure, positive, and harmonious way, without anyone being harmed!!! You will be amazed at what you will find out if you actually do real research of Vodou. It was only made out to be bad because of racism, ignorance, predjudice.
listen to me white woman stop!!!!! thinking about voodoo friends and voodoo rum and again dont think, just listen to the beats and the songs. overall dont think just act to each drumbeat.
The Beast is a Demon Revelation 13:18, The Beasts are "Crazy Demons" and the mark of The Beast is "Demon Crazy" if you remove N then replace Z with C you will get the name of the Beast "DEMOCRACY" and Christianity is one of the manifested legs of the beast Proverbs 11:9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered

The devil is what yu call God and there is no doubt that he wrote the Bible and the Quran. "We judge a tree to the fruits" the fruits of religions is hell on earth.
The Haitian people who practice voodoo don't consider St.Patrick cathedral as a temple. They go there at St.Patrick Day because they associate St.Patrick with the spirit dambala. In June for St.Anthony feast, the sunday before and the one after the feast day,manu buses full of Haitians will go to St.Anthony Church in Greymore, New York. This is the feast that attract most Haitians out of Haiti. There'sa lot of fun. And you might meet a friend that you lost for a long time there. a rara is there.
i'm trying to learn about voodoo, but it would be great if i could meet someone who wants to learn as well or even better, i would love to meet a teacher.
Be careful dissing Vodou. The reason a religion like Vodou didn't develop in the U.S among American blacks and did in countries like Haiti & Cuba comes down to who our slavemasters were.

Vodou is a beautiful religion. Christians should really ease up with the judging. I practice Buddhism myself and I deal with the same old christian negativity. Almost every violent war in the past 1000 years has been because christians are close minded and have to be right. The bible says Thou Shall Not Kill not Thou Shall Not Kill unless it's "in the name of God."

To all of you that mention Jesus..... He did talk to spirits, he was the biggest medium, him and his cousin the John the Baptist were Muerteros or Spiritist. All of you pentacostal or baptist work yours spirits and speak in tongues every sunday when you go to church. You're practicing voodoo and will go to hell.

@JuiceyAngel i did not read carefully enough when I voted up on you. i want to remove it. no one is going to "hell" for practicing voodoo...that is a terrible mean spirited thing to say and no good could possibly come of it. I am retracting. I think that being a medium is a healing practice.

I understand what you are saying about white folks feeling priviledged enough to just go around collecting information about cultures that are not their own as if they are entitled to them, or as if they are some how trivialized or made quaint. This has been true and makes me feel so sad. But there is another side to this. It is also an undeniable compliment to your culture. A recognition of greatness and power. You should be proud that people of other cultures are mystified by your beauty.

From a biblical perspective, in genesis when had completely manifested the physical realm, the creator pronounced "GOOD" yet the serpent (representative of the negative pole) was present in the Garden (the physical realm).
We all have free will.
It is only when we impose our will on others and deny them their birthright that we commit evil.
It is only when we are led (tempted) by selfishness, rather than by it's opposite of service that we are agents of evil.
thegrandhouseofamen7 2 years ago
Jesus is not to be worshiped by his own words.
"Why do you call me Master when I'm your brother".
Jesus may be evoked:
"Where two or more unite in my name, there I am".
Jesus is a spirit but not a deity by his own admission.
He is a son of God because he is one in spirit with the creator.
"I and the father(abba) are one".
But he is not the creator by his own admission.
" Somethings are only known unto the father".
Before you make a comment on any christian theology, learn your bible.
thegrandhouseofamen7 2 years ago
Vodou is inclusive not exclusive; therefore, voduo respects all divinties including Jesus.
Humans are both good and evil.
All of creation is polarized (negative and positive, male and female, rada and petro).
Vodou represents and evokes the totality of creation.
Remember the first commandment of Moshe; as well as, of ollodumare:
"Thou shall have no other god BEFORE me:.
In all african based religions God (Bon Dieu, the all) is first evoked.

The reason religions have prospered, and with them their associated oppression, death, and destruction, is that Yahushua's Assembly hasn't heeded this advice.

This is pretty cool. I think the spirit "possessions" that take place at these shindigs aren't real.

You can't offend uncle Remus with the truth if it's the "spirit" on your back that's talkin' and not you, the horse. And it's a good excuse to get liquored up and let yourself go for a few hours.

If Jesus was here... the real Jesus would be in every ceremony... being possessed... how do you think you talk to God. The Western media after slavery, filled your heads with lies about your own spirituality. Do the research than talk. Haiti is in trouble...

You need to understand, Haiti is not in trouble because of voudoo itself. Voudun is just a tool to communicate with your true God-self. But any tool can be used in the wrong way. A knife can be used to cut a cake, slice bread... or it can be used to stab a man to death. The people who rule governments... when they do use these tools they use them for control of the people... and therefore it becomes a bad use of the tool. Do not shy away from your traditions without exploring them first.

The Beast is a Demon Revelation 13:18, The Beasts are "Crazy Demons" and the mark of The Beast is "Demon Crazy" if you remove N then replace Z with C you will get the name of the Beast "DEMOCRACY" and Christianity is one of the manifested legs of the beast Proverbs 11:9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered

Satan the devil, demons & associates: «There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic, or anyone who looks for omens, or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell, or anyone who consults a spirit medium, or a professional foreteller of events, or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to God, » Bible (De. 18: 10-12).

The Haitian people who practice voodoo don't consider St.Patrick cathedral as a temple. They go there at St.Patrick Day because they associate St.Patrick with the spirit dambala. In June for St.Anthony feast, the sunday before and the one after the feast day,manu buses full of Haitians will go to St.Anthony Church in Greymore, New York. This is the feast that attract most Haitians out of Haiti. There'sa lot of fun. And you might meet a friend that you lost for a long time there. a rara is there.
