The story

Fiestas Patronales Nuestra Senora del Rosario in Dajabon

Dajabon, the Haitian border town known for its twice-weekly binational market, honors Nuestra Senora del Rosario as patron with an October 7 feast day following the standard Dominican pattern of novena, procession and verbena. Available documentation centers heavily on the border market itself rather than this religious observance specifically.

Dajabon, the Massacre River border town famous for its twice-weekly binational market with Haiti, honors Nuestra Senora del Rosario as its patron, with the feast fixed on the Catholic calendar for October 7, commemorating the Battle of Lepanto and the Marian devotion built around the rosary prayer tradition.
