HOSAY in Jamaica_WI.mov

Hosay or Tadjah is a West Indian commemoration, in which multi-colored model mausoleums are paraded, then ritually offered up to the sea, or any body of water.

[@ralstonreid-444]

I use to go to Husay every years I miss the culture.❤I just love the beating of the drums and the dancing.

[@mapledaleguy]

Interesting. I never knew Indians kept up their traditions in Jamaica. Nice to know.

[@arinaelectronics8910]

remember Jamaica is a bigger population than Trinidad or Guyana so alot of things happen within the society which may not be visible

[@sadefisher7210]

Arina Electronicsbb yes that's true

[@mrladnek5858]

mapledaleguy and also upkept in Trinidad & Guyana

[@ushasingh2303]

mapledaleguy Of course we do.

[@mrladnek5858]

We were brought from Bihar & Uttar Pradesh India in the 1800’s by the British to work on the sugar cane plantations to Trinidad, Guyana & Jamaica & we have definitely kept the traditions alive.

[@gatheringleaves]

Also a lot came from Calcutta and Madras, now called Kolkata and Chennai

Don't forget Suriname (former Dutch colony) 😉

love the hosay every year mi with it.

[@annettejohnson2683]

As a child I remember Indian Jamaicans taking a simple hosay to Pagee and try to send it off with the hope that it would reach their homeland.

[@bryansatchell9995]

Good information; would have been great to have the video person record some of the surroundings.

[@deanakasquidly]

Great idea

[@zuhairabbasabidi2992]

Hosay is derived from word Husain its a Shia procession commemorating Ashura. Its not an Indian tradition. For more Information See Wikipedia.

really coolio

[@uncletheoneshotkid3001]

Seriously?

[@Byhisgrace603]

I was born and grew in Water Lane and the district looked forward every year to seeing the parade. I now realized the foundation of the tradition is idolatry! "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images or any likeness.... Exodus 20:3-4 This is to believers in Christ Jesus.

[@tc2334]

This is the likeness of tomb...not of anything in Heaven. As you are Christian, you should go concern yourself with Christian things..instead of criticizing Muslim things you clearly don't understand. lol

[@isaiah3872]

It's a tadjah designed in the form of a tomb to commemorate two people (Muslims) that died centuries ago....how is that idolatrous? They _don't_ worship the two deceased. Even by Christian standards, we also bury our dead & have tombs or mausoleums. If you don't believe in Islam (neither do I) that doesn't automatically make the celebration idolatrous.

[@essarroyrupchand4007]

Genievesingh...Sorry you were brainwashed.....It's the commemoration of the Prophet's two grandsons death in the battle of Kerbala in Persia.

[@annettejohnson2683]

This is their religion and they are entitled to practise it as they see fit. A great many Christians in Jamaica also practised Obeah.

[@mtlsniper]

yes they do keep up ther raditions but most of the older generation only a small percentage of young indians follow it

[@dharmakissoon]

Same thing with Guyana n trinidad

[@BrainfitTriviaQuizzes]

You had too much footage of the speaker and very little of the band or mausoleum. I would have liked to get a detailed view of the colourful mausoleum.

[@deanakasquidly]
