    Jamaicans shine anywhere and Morine surely doing that.

    The Nine Mornings celebration came from the Catholics who had a novena on mornings before Christmas. Back then, there were church services and serenading with speeches done around the communities A novena is done over a period of nine days. The celebration has evolved and no longer includes visiting homes and serenading.

    • @eunicepitt5339

      If you want to go from house to house serenading you can it still in place but now a days people don't want to do it ,I used to do it ,but I'm not living there now ,but they have nine morning up the road with church and different activities you can win a television and other prizes I hear it was so nice last year, I came back to quick I missed it

    • @huggised
      @huggised Год назад

      @eunicepitt5339 Yes, some of the Catholic churches have service for the nine mornings. I guess the older folks still serenade in the rural areas. It will be good if we can keep the culture alive.

    Xavier i know Mourine Williams and Bishop Sunny Williams and from the same area and the church where he pastored in Gomea , however the fallacy that everybody knows each other is a false assumption. I don't know people from Georgetown, Chateaubelair or lets say Calliaqua. There is a village type culture but they don't know people from Mesopotamia for example .There was or a tendency to believe Jamaican are very cunning and very very aggressive. I have experience the same aggressive culture living here in Canada . Much of what she said otherwise is true. It is true that Vincentian don't eat ackee because they think its poisonous. Actually, there is yellow yam and we call it Dominic yam and there is a type of yam in Jamaica call Vincentian which has its origin in St Vincent. that picture that you feature is a picture of st Georges Grenada and not St Vincent.
