Every
year in summer thousands of pilgrims from all over Haiti make a
religious journey to the village of Ville Bonheur and the sacred Waters
of Saut d’Eau waterfall, located near Mirebalais and 60 miles north of
Port au Prince, a main pilgrimage site in Haiti since 1847.
THESE PEOPLE NEED JESUS CHRIST PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM
It is
believed that 150 years ago, Erzulie the goddess of love and beauty,
camouflaged in the spirit of Virgin Mary of miracles has appeared on a
palm tree close to the waterfall, a French priest, afraid of the
superstition this would inspire, cut the tree down, but it nonetheless
became an important religious destination for Haitians. Viewers
discretion advised!
The sick and
the needy let the water of the falls wash over them as they perform
various rituals of Voodoo in a religious festival that lasts for three
days.
