Voodoo
celebration in Souvenance begins on Good Friday and continues for a
week. Every year hundreds of people assemble in this tiny village. It is
one of the holiest pilgrimages for believers in voodoo. Souvenance is
located between Gonaïves and Cap-Haïtien, about 20km north of
Gonaïves.Voodoo was brought to Haiti by slaves from West Africa but did
not become a recognized religion by the Caribbean country until the
1960s.
