Today in Benin is a national celebration day in honor of the traditional religion, vodun. There are many ceremonies held where thousands gather. The peak of the ceremony is a procession of the whole population, all dressed traditionally and walking to the beach in honour of all the African souls who were taken on board to the New World from there. The procession also honours all the voodoo deities living in the ocean waters and in particular Mami Wata. So our own Abojevi Zahwenu was honoured in Benin today!
