What is the Haitian name for Ancestry Day or Hero's day (the January 2nd holiday)? And what are some traditional customs related to the holiday?
Ancestors' Day is called Jour des Aieux (pronouced jur-deh-zayeh) in Haiti.
It's a day of remembrance of the heroes who served and died for freedom.
In Haiti, there's usually a presidential speech and a service commemorating our courageous ancestors.
The celebration of the 2nd of January seems more like a continuation of the festivities of the previous day (January 1st, Independence Day). Lots of roasted chickens, turkeys, cow meat, or goats will grace our tropical tables on that day. Some people would cap their evening by attending a bal and others would end up on an outdoor terrace at a small table drinking rums and tafia with friends while playing dominoes.
