Lights, camera, action!
For the first time in 20 years, the large acacia tree in the centre of Oracabessa, St Mary, has come alive with lights and Jamaican artistry – just in time for Christmas.
The tree, the largest on the main street in the St Mary town, where many depend on the tourism industry, has become a conversation piece since it was officially lit Wednesday evening.
Its revival is being described as a beacon of light and hope, in a community impacted by the gloom and desolation caused by COVID-19.
Oracabessa residents, many of whom are dependent on the tourist industry, were not about to remain dispirited with their current situation. Instead, they have drawn on the talent that abounds in their area, pulling out local artists and artisans, whose work of handmade ornaments adorn the tree, while their banners of optimism line the streets.
