Festival of St. Jacques Draws Haiti's Ogoun Worshipers
Thousands travel across the Artibonite Valley for a three day voodoo festival tied to the Catholic calendar. Believers seek Ogoun's power through mud baths, animal sacrifices, possession rites, and offerings at St. Jacques Basin and the Door of St. Jacques while Baron Samedi rites mark the cemetery site.
