February 12, 2010 is prayer day in Haïti

Today, Haitians have gathered in churches, streets, camps, before the ruins of the National Palace, in memory of the 217,000 people who perished in the earthquake that devastated Haiti a month ago.

For this national day of mourning, the Haitian population was invited by the government to take white clothes and go from 6:00 am to the many ceremonies held in churches, camps and even in the streets blocked for the occasion.
"All religions of Haiti, voodoo, Catholics, Baptists, Protestants, we are all gathered here to pray," Haiti did more for "wealth" that "the spirit of the Lord," declaimed a preacher on stage.
