Traditional Fijian wedding dress for Jasa and Kata as they were married inside the Catholic Church at Naselesele Village--Taveuni, Fiji. The outfits were made from tapa...and, of course, a big feast followed the ceremony, along with the big basins of kava.
The village Methodist Church in Qamea, Fiji. Sitting cross-legged for 1 1/2 hours (maybe a full 2 hours) was very uncomfortable! There was another
kavalagi (foreigner) couple other than myself...we were all very warmly welcomed.
i guess all the women had a bad hair day! The little girl's hair was just fine...no need to hide. (Just kidding!) These wonderful ladies belong to the Cook Islands Catholic Church in Atiu, Cook Islands. They invited me to some refreshments after the service--pastries and fruits. It was quite a heartwarming experience mingling with the very friendly locals.
Seventh Day Adventist Church at a village in Qamea, Fiji. Such a transparent church! After the offering was collected, it was counted right then and there at the front and announced to the congregation. No fancy light shows here...just hymns a-capella and the plain Gospel of CHRIST.
