Happy Diwali too!

I'm not familiar with this tradition; can you explain it to me, Indria? What does celebrating Diwali symbolize?

Happy Diwali - Trinidad Caribbean / Tobago & Trinidad

Diwali is a celebration of lights. It is usually celebrated in what is supposed to be the darkest night of the year. At night people light something called dias that contains oil and a bit of wool to keep a flame.

They don't carry the lights they put it on their houses or use bamboo to create shapes and then rest the dias on them just like they do at Christmas.
