Several supermarkets in and around the capital have closed their liquor sections today as Antigua and Barbuda observes the National Day of Prayer, a public holiday dedicated to reflection and intercession for the nation.
In keeping with government regulations, the sale of alcohol has been suspended for the day.
Retailers across St. John’s confirmed their compliance, noting that signs were posted to inform customers of the restriction.
The National Day of Prayer is marked annually with church services, community gatherings, and moments of reflection, as residents are encouraged to seek divine guidance for the country’s social, economic, and spiritual well-being.
Authorities say the measure is aimed at preserving the sanctity of the day, ensuring that it is observed with reverence.
Wait, is the liquor under arrest?
How about not cash anyone buying the alcohol rather than the dramatic yellow tape lol
I didn’t know that supermarkets were open today.
lol WE BUY OUR RUM SINCE LAST NIGHT HAHAHAHA
This is why the country is so far from healing n fixing! Instead the day is respected, you people ensure that your alcohol is there from the night before
I like the concept I hope the participation grows over the years
Police line. Nobody crosss it
Should be for the entire day. Not just 6 to 6
Respect to the businesses for honoring the spirit of the National Day of Prayer.
Maybe, just maybe leave the adult choice to drink or not to drink to adults personally, instead of enforcing unsubstantiated and debunked stone age beliefs on adults. You wanna talk to yourself and not eat that’s your business. The rest of us that recognise its 2025 and not the 17th century believe action speaks louder than words and would like to decide for ourselves.
