Christmas Morning Worship in Barbados

Christmas morning worship has always been an integral part of Barbadian society... so of course going to church for midnight mass and more recently for Christmas morning service is a must…

Attending Christmas morning church service at one of the islands historic churches is the ideal way to experience one of our age old traditions...

Two such churches are situated within close proximity to the after church Christmas morning lime in Queens Park. These churches are the St. Michael Cathedral which was first consecrated in 1665 and The St. Mary's Church built in 1825.

Christmas in Queens Park

Christmas in Queens Park is one of the most anticipated events of the holiday season... After church on Christmas morning hundreds of Barbadian men, women and children as well as visitors congregate in the historic Queen's Park for what has become the annual lime and fashion parade.

With everyone dress in their finest it truly has become a spectacle, with many showcasing the latest fashion trends... while some of the more daring even choosing back in time outfits from the 60's and 70's.

It really is a fun time as folks take the opportunity to take photographs with family and friends while listening to Royal Police Force Band.

Visitors to this lime are also kept entertained by the tuk band and many of the traditional village characters, like the nut seller, still walkers and the popular mother Sally.
