Editorial News of Saturday, 15 August 2020Source: Ghanaian TimesGhanaian Times: Celebrating Homowo amid coronavirusA picture from 2019 Homowo festivalThis year’s annual celebration of Homowo would go down as one that has never happened before. It would be a unique celebration because it cannot be celebrated in the usual festive mood due to the coronavirus pandemic. Indeed, COVID-19 as it is also called has not allowed the normal celebration of any festival worldwide. This would be contrary to the normal Homowo festival of the Ga tribe which is believed to have lineage from the Jewish tribe and its ancestral tradition of the pastoral feast. They, therefore, celebrate the Homowo, to hoot at hunger and rejoice in their harvest.
