Yesterday was Liberia's Thanksgiving Day (a tradition we really like, and will try to continue once we return to the UK). As an international crew from 33 different nations, we celebrated the day with the Liberians instead of waiting for the American Thanksgiving Day (like we used to on the
Anastasis), and the event also included aspects of the traditional Harvest Festival we celebrate in the UK at this time of year. The Academy's school kids were dressed as fruit or vegetables...
...Libby came dressed as a tomato...
...Noah as a bunch of grapes...
...and Anna (left) as a bunch of bananas with her friends Fride (centre) and Joyce (right).
And there was a lovely display of fruit and veg from Liberia and beyond.
Crew from all 33 countries took it in turns to pray in their mother tongue, and then we finished with ice cream and chocolate cake! Olly
