Kites

We found out that the reason everyone flies a kite on Easter Monday (and never any other time) is because it is symbolic of the Resurrection of Christ. Another Guyanese custom, that has surprised us. Easter Tuesday - the power lines and trees are full of crashed kites and people collect kite string from the wrecks.
