In a notable display of community engagement, former Prime Minister OJ Seraphin and his wife Lily made a special appearance at a distinctive Christmas event organized by the Kalinago community. The couple was present for the performance of “The Birth of Christ,” a dramatic production presented by the Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness Drama Group.
The event, which blends cultural tradition with religious observance, represents the unique Christmas celebrations within the Kalinago territory. The presence of the former head of government underscores the ongoing connection between national leadership and indigenous communities, particularly during significant cultural and religious holidays.
The dramatic performance itself serves as both spiritual reflection and cultural preservation, showcasing the community’s interpretation of the Nativity story through local artistic expression. Such events highlight how traditional Christmas observances are adapted and celebrated within different cultural contexts across the nation.
The appearance of the former political leader at this community-driven event demonstrates the continuing role of public figures in supporting local cultural initiatives and maintaining connections with diverse constituencies beyond their formal terms in office.
