White Sunday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

White Sunday is a holiday in Samoa, falling on the second Sunday in October. New Zealand hip-hop artist Mareko has released an album named after it. It is a day for the children of Samoa where they get spoilt and treated nicely. They also have to perform for their parents and relatives in church.

On White Sunday the women and children dress completely in white clothing. Some of them trim the clothes with the other two colors of the Samoan flag, red and blue. Men will wear white shirts with either white slacks or the traditional lavalava. If a lavalava is worn it may not be white.

In Samoa they call this day "Lotu Tamaiti".Translation in English is "Children's Day"
