Mache Salomon (Solomon’s Market)

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

On Friday, November 2 we went to the market to buy meat, vegetables and bread. This was a very interesting experience, especially in the meat section. Here you see and hear live animals, They are ready for the slaughter. The meat that Yvon purchased was goat, cow’s tongue, and chicken. We cannot find words to describe the smell of the place.

Then we went to the bakery where everyone buys their bread to sell on the streets, and the smell of the bread was a delight especially after being in the meat section of the market.

May God be known, loved and glorified everywhere we go!

Celebrating All Saints Day in Haiti

“I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people and tongue.” Rev. 7:9

This morning we were blest to participate in the Eucharistic Liturgy in Notre Dame Church. It was a 2 hour magnificent celebration of prayer, praise and song that reminded us of the joyful celebration among the Saints in Heaven. It lasted for two hours. Here in Haiti it is a holiday, schools and public places are closed.

We continued our celebration with an international “manje midi,” lunch, of POLISH KIELBASA, ITALIAN PROVOLONE CHEESE, HAITIAN BREAD, AVOCADO, and BANANAS. All of this we bought in the Haitian supermarket. Put on our bread it made a great sandwich 🙂
