| Tribal Princesses |
In the middle of my visit to PNG, I was taken to the Anglican Church in Mt Hagen to their annual celebration of the building of their Church and Confirmation Service. It was fascinating to see the fusion of western-influenced Christianity with local tribal dancing and costume.
The clergy entered the Church, in a procession, following behind a local tribal dance group, and after the Service the Youth Group entertained us all with some dances they choreographed themselves whilst the food was brought out, the 1st song, "Yes Lord", you might recognise, the 2nd song "Mi gat Jisas mi Ammamas" roughly translated means "I've got Jesus, I'm happy".
This video gives you a flavour of the celebration.
