Tongan Kava Ceremony in Kyiv Prayer Hall

by Fred Hughes

Bright tropical sunlight floods the high windows of a prayer hall in Kyiv, illuminating a group of Tongans performing a kava ceremony. The warm light casts sharp shadows across the polished wooden floor, against the cool gray stone walls of the Ukrainian building. Men in traditional woven mats sit in a circle, their faces serious as they pass a bowl of kava. The intricate patterns of their bark cloth garments stand out against the simple, austere architecture. Early autumn light falls through the glass, highlighting the dust motes dancing above the bowl. The scene holds a quiet weight, the vibrant colors of the ceremony appearing almost surreal against the solemn, empty pews of the prayer hall. one drop of liquid rests on the rim of the wooden bowl.
