The Sacred corn:  Abele Womɔ kɛ Shwamɔ

In Nungua, the Ga people perform Abele Womɔ kɛ Shwamɔ, a sacred corn procession that takes place before the Homowo Festival. This quiet yet deeply spiritual ritual honors the earth, the gods, and the ancestors by offering the first maize harvest of the season. It symbolizes gratitude for sustenance, a renewal of the community’s bond with the land, and the beginning of the season of plenty. Through this act, the Ga people reaffirm their spiritual connection to their heritage and the natural world that sustains them.
