The ceremonies involve singing, dancing, prayer, worship, and drumming all day long. At sunset, a procession moves to the ocean where offerings of flowers, rhum, honey, and fruit are made.
It was a rainy, densely overcast day this year which made photographing a challenge, but that did not stop worshipers including myself from gathering to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Middle Passage. When I thought about the sacrifice that my ancestors made during their journey, I decided a little rain would not keep me home. It tuns out the rain was not rain at all, but an anointing and blessing from the heavens---or so the faithful believe.
