Good Friday is always a fun event around family, especially when you’re married into a local that has deep roots, and the traditions of where you’re from. I’m from Bermuda and here we make fish cakes and hot cross buns and this is all that I had to learn and took a few years to perfect my recipe for the fish cakes. Making them isn’t something I grow up with because my family isn’t Bermudian however my husband’s family is. Being from different cultures really put the true meaning of culture clash. Some people take their family to the beach for kite fly and festivities. They also have a kite competition on who can make the biggest brightest kite and I’m sure they have different categories. We personally don’t go to beach for these types of festivities because we stay around family and if you’re lucky you catch the Gombey troops who are followed by a group of drummers, and they whistle as they dance with whistles. You couldn’t hear the drummers from far away and you know their common not it’s always so exciting to watch them dance people would follow the troops as they move along the neighborhoods and they bring such huge crowds. Their costumes are beautifully colored pants with tassels, and a huge cape also have tassels very multicolor And they were a headpiece with a face covering and peacock tails feathers at the top of the headpiece.
