Religious Activities
If you wish to join or simply observe how the Bahamians celebrate their Holy Week, you can visit the Christian churches within the vicinity. During this period, the churches have evening services each night. There is also a synagogue in the area where the Feast of the Passover is also observed by people with Judaism faith. The Easter Sunday or the Resurrection Sunday marks the end of the Holy Week and during this time many churches conduct sunrise services at the beach.
Easter Food Galore
Food is indeed a universal language and is mostly one of the criteria to consider in choosing a place for a vacation. This island country offers almost everything that will satisfy your taste buds. During this particular time of the year, many Bahamians feast on the local bounty of seafood as they avoid consuming any meat. Refraining from eating meat has been a practice of many Bahamians during the Holy Week or just on Good Friday. Easter Sunday is celebrated otherwise. The usual Easter Sunday menu consists of ham, chicken or turkey, salad, rice, baked macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes and local desserts such as Guava Duff and coconut or pineapple tarts. Bahamas is also home to restaurants that serve specialty seafood cuisine such as deep fried conch to international flavors such as Mediterranean food.
