Regional/Cultural Day

Zour Lanzas

A day honoring the elderly, who in the Seychelles are the keepers of tradition, the tellers of stories, and the ones who remember when the islands had no electricity, no television, and no tourists. The AHA! moment: in Seychellois culture, the grandmother is the head of the household, and her word on family matters is final. Disagreeing with your grandmother is not recommended and is rarely attempted.
