Unreferenced date February 2009 The J r mie Vespers refer to a massacre that took place in August, September and October 1964 in the Haiti an town of J r mie . It took place after a group of 13 young Haitians calling themselves Jeune Haiti landed on August 6, 1964 at Petite Rivi re de Dame Marie with the intention of overthrowing the regime of Fran ois Duvalier Fran ois Pap Doc Duvalier . They were Max Armand, his brother Jacques Armand, G rald Marie Brierre, Miko Chandler, Louis Drouin, Charles Forbin, Jean Gerdes, R ginald Jourdan, Yvon Laraque, Marcel Numa, Roland Rigaud, Gusley Villedrouin and Jacques Wadestrand. Historical context As a former French colony, Haiti s society was not immune from the long lasting effects of colonization, and its impact on race, class and ethnicity. Haitian society was blatantly divided along classes considered mulatto , mestizo , brown and dark skinned black. The presence of Lebanese and Chinese merchants who bought abandoned French businesses contributed to an at times cohesive, at times stratified society. Tensions existed along color and ethnic lines, regardless of capital and wealth, since many dark skinned black families owned property and wealth on the same level as mulattoes. The term vespers refers to the excursions groups of families took to the countryside on the weekends. These vespers were often organized along racial and class lines, as groups of exclusively white light skinned families would organize weekend country excursions, to the chagrin of their black neighbors, with whom they interacted all week. The rise to power of Papa Doc Duvalier, a Haitian of Guadeloupe origin, also raised a sort of Black nationalism or Noirism throughout the country. Duvalier exhorted the country to take greater pride in her African roots, and treat ... militia was leaked, Duvalier retaliated brutally. Outcome The massacre was called the vespers because ...

The congregation is also led in singing hymns chorales each chorale is then followed by an organ chorale prelude by Bach , written on that chorale. At the apex of the liturgy, a passage from the Gospel is chanted as trope , while the congregation stands. At the close of the liturgy, a large scale fugue is played, while the lights are gradually dimmed. At the end, the sanctuary is dark, with only candles burning.

All three hymns are replete with spiritual unction, graceful expression, and classical dignity of form. They reflect the sentiment of the pope in his letter establishing a Pious Association in honour of the Holy Family and in his Encyclical dealing with the condition of working men.
