BOXING DAY
Monday 26th December 2016
This holiday was granted to the slaves the day after Christmas when they were given the boxes left over from their master?s gifts. These boxes usually were sent from England and were well-crafted from fine wood. Hence the holiday is known as Boxing Day. Junkanoo parades take place on some islands to commemorate this event.
