They even have a Black Jesus on the catholic church wall in Kenya...where have Panamanians heads been???? There's white greeting cards, and white everything else, television, etc. But Jesus? And the Madonna and Child paintings? Black. And their ceremonies, or whatever it's called that Catholics do every Sunday...you know...the processional? It's AFRICAN in Kenya! I mean, the children wear home-made outfits of Kente cloth and cotton, or kitenges(sarongs) of African cloth. They do REAL African dances during the processional(not made-up African-esque dances like the wop, which you might see in a Black American church). I know you might EXPECT that it be just this way since, it IS in Africa and all. Not so. Everything else seemed so Euro-centered, that to see an Africanized version of Catholic church ceremonies was mind-blowing to me. It was a complete fusion of European and African culture. The sermons were part in Kiswahili, part English. I understood nothing from the Kiswahili sermon, except for "Amani"(Peace) and Jesu Cristo(you know Who). And the Bibles were in Kiswahili.
