Holy Ghost Celebration







On the Hamakua coast is the small town of Honoka'a. Honoka'a has a sizeable Portuguese population. Last Sunday was the Feast Of The Holy Ghost, a traditional Portuguese Catholic celebration. Since Vatican II The Holy Ghost is now called The Holy Spirit. We went there to be a part of the celebration. We were told that at one time the progression went all around the town. Now it only goes about 50 feet. It was raining so we didn't stay long but it was fun to see what it was all about.
