Easter in Haiti is one of the most colorful and vibrant celebrations around, mixing Catholic and Voodoo traditions together with “rara” music played on trumpets, maracas, and drums. Voodoo believers embark on a procession to the village of Souvenance and make offerings to the spirits, while Catholics attend a midnight mass the night before Easter followed by a celebratory dinner of fish or lamb with bay leaf and parsley, beans or sweet potatoes, and bread.
