Honor Your Ancestors at New Orleans National Vodou Day
Welcome to the Ancestor Honorarium page for New Orleans National Vodou Day! This is a unique opportunity to celebrate and honor your ancestors during this powerful cultural event. As part of the Honoring Our Roots Campaign, we invite you to participate by choosing from three personalized donation tiers. Each tier offers a special keepsake that will be displayed during the Vodou ceremony at Congo Square on April 6th.
A Special Tribute for Our Furry Friends
In addition to honoring human ancestors, we will also dedicate a tree to celebrate our beloved furry companions who have crossed over. This tree will serve as a touching tribute to the animals who brought joy, love, and companionship into our lives. Their memory will be honored alongside our human ancestors.
How It Works
Creation: These keepsakes are custom made with your ancestors name or image.
Display: All keepsakes will be displayed on the ancestor’s altar during the Vodou ceremony at Congo Square on April 6th.
Participants: If you’re attending the event, you can take your keepsake home after the ceremony.
Unable to Attend?: Items will be placed on an altar at the New Orleans Healing Center for continued reverence. Unfortunately, we cannot ship items after the event.
This is a wonderful opportunity to honor your ancestors, support this historic event, and have a meaningful keepsake created in your ancestors’ honor. Donate today to secure your spot in this powerful celebration of legacy and tradition!

We stand on the shoulders of those who have walked before us, carrying their wisdom, strength, and spirit into the present. As we honor their legacy, we remember the paths they paved and the sacrifices they made, ensuring their memory lives on in our hearts and actions.
