Several sections of the cathedral of immaculate conception were beautifully decorated to mark Guyana’s 60th Independence Anniversary.
This sacred and inspiring display not only celebrates our nation’s rich heritage and natural beauty, but also serves as a gentle reminder of the message of Laudato Si’, a shared call to care for creation and protect the environment entrusted to mankind by God.
The festival attracted visitors throughout the two days, some of whom spent hours admiring the displays were able to take pictures and enjoy the beauty of the cathedral which was adorned with flowers. Participants included most of the Catholic parishes in Georgetown, professional Florists, Bishop’s High School and St. George’s Cathedral.
