Holiday's in the village is not just a one day event, its a "bigfala" affair. Starting on Palm Sunday the Presbyterian church here put on a drama of Jesus's arrival and after followed a big kakae with all the church members. After, each day during the week, the church hosted different Bible studies that also had some skits, dramas, and songs. Thursday was half day for school, and all the students/teachers left early to prepare for the Easter Camp.
Easter Camp, let me just tell ya is huge, students go and have a lock-in at the chirch from Thursday-Sunday, Mamas and Papaes groups meet together during the day to story, learn songs, and make crafts; its a pretty big deal.
On Friday, the students put on a night concert and had a huge bonfire. On Saturday, all the student's, mama's, papa's, and string band members came together and had a mix concert; that was a blast. Finally, on Sunday we had 2 three hour church services, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and another concert that night.
Might I add I had a small part in one of the skits. :) I was a 'gossip girl' and stood up in the front talking about all the fake, juicy gossip I chould think of. HAHA and Everyone loved it; not anyone would have told me otherwise- one good thing about this culture.
Even though we had rain the whole weekend, it didn't matter because the energy and imagination of my village made Easter this year one that I will always remember.
