Christmas
25 December 2010
Island wide
One of the most unique activities of Kosrae is celebrating Christmas. The whole island practices “marching” and singing daily from the 1st of December right thru Christmas Day. Christmas Day is spent at church from sunup to sundown observing each group perform their “marching parade” routine accompanied by song. Some groups are 100+ people! This event is quite unique as each group has a matching “uniform”, local style bright floral print dresses for the ladies and shirts for the men. Bring a bag as candy and other goodies are thrown around like you were at a parade. Every 4 years is a reunion year, where Kosraeans from abroad will venture back to Kosrae to celebrate Christmas Kosraean style.
