Today many here in Barbados will be winding down to the last activities to what they believe is a cultural event
a festival which traditionally was a time when folks in the agricultural industry would enjoy themselves after the sugar cane harvest.

This festival has become nothing more than a Bacchanalian festival where men and women jump and grind. Added to this is the large consumption of alcohol. Half naked people, who are under the influence of alcohol (not all involved in drinking alcohol) can cause many to be involved in activities that they would not normally be involved in if they were not drinking.
I have no problem with the other cultural activities associated with it. For example, singing, the craft and sale of food. This festival bring in a lot of tourist and as usual it makes money which is necessary since our main money earner is tourism.
Seeing how the revellers behave shows that even the term revellers should indicate that it is a fleshly thing. The bible talks about revelry For some Christian parents they may have children who may want to participate in this. Take a look.
