Worshipping in Haiti

Worship ceremony's in Haiti are a big deal and take many days to prepare for. Foods, rituals and altars are all prepared and set up for these worship events.  Ceremony's start with Catholic prayers, songs in French, and then a litany in Kreyol, which goes through all the European and African Saints.  Then, songs for the individual spirits are sung where the spirits are said to visit and take over the bodies of some communicating through there soul.  The spirits will then cure those who come to them with problems.  Much later, in the early hours of morning, the last song is sung and the attendees begin to leave.
