In Caribbean culture, Nine-Night is more than a wake—it's a powerful tradition of remembrance, transition, and community. Held on the ninth night after a loved one’s passing, it brings family and friends together to share prayers, music, food, and memories. Rooted in African and Christian beliefs, it ensures the spirit peacefully moves on while celebrating the life they lived.
