Holidays & Observances in Togo
Togo is a country in West Africa. It is populated by many different ethnic groups, each of which has its own cultural identity. Though Islam and Christianity are growing religions in Togo, most of the people still practice indigenous religions. Even those who have converted to other religions often practice traditional ceremonies associated with indigenous beliefs. Christian holidays are celebrated by many people in the country, but they are not as important as traditional celebrations and ceremonies.
