MOUNT ZION SPIRITUAL BAPTIST CHURCH UK

Kensal Green, London, England circa 1994.<br />
At Mount Zion Spiritual Baptist Church, Bishop George Gifford Noel from Grenada lies in an open casket. Mother Twila Noel passes children of the congregation over his body, in the belief that holding up a child over the deceased will ward off evil spirits, and the innocence of the child allows the dead person’s duppy or spirit transition into the spiritual world with greater ease. 1990s
