Assomption

National holiday. A significant day for Burkina's Catholic community. Churches fill, choirs sing, and afterward everyone gathers for a meal that always includes riz gras. The faith runs deep in the Centre-Ouest and the processions through Koudougou and Ouaga are a sight that stays with you.

Siku ya Kumbukumbu

The French colonial calendar left this holiday behind and Comorians observe it, though the population is overwhelmingly Muslim. A day off is a day off and the French administrative framework still runs the calendar. Most Comorians spend it at the beach, with family, or in dondomoni, which is how every holiday is observed regardless of its official purpose.
