Adventist-owned Northern Caribbean University to host Xaymaca 2.0.
The Xaymaca celebrations have their roots in the African traditions brought to Jamaica. The festival is a way to celebrate and honor those traditions, and it is celebrated with much fanfare throughout Jamaica. This celebration parallels many of the other carnival celebrations, such as Carnival in Brazil and Mardi Gras in the United States, that take place around the time of Lent. Unfortunately, these worldly celebrations have been associated with revelry, drunkenness, sexuality, and a lot of music and dancing.
These kinds of traditions should have no part in the institutions that are supposed to reflect the character and culture of heaven. With their drumming, shouting, and dancing, many of today's festivals honoring culture and tradition share the very same characteristics found in pagan worship.

On December 16, 2025, the Seventh-day Adventist Academy in Pulierranghy, India, held a Christmas program that featured numerous Santa Clauses, played by students and faculty. [1] The students jumped, shouted, and danced to loud music, while the staff on stage moved in a manner reminiscent of pure paganism.

In Rome's Embrace: When Adventist Pastors Find Comfort in the Papal Arms of Sund …
On Sunday, January 18, 2026, Giovanni Caccamo, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor, publicly embraced Roman Catholic Bishop Antonio Napolioni during an ecumenical worship service commemorating the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

Pope Leo XIV to Ecumenical Leaders: "We Are One, Let's Make It Visible"
Ecumenism is indeed fulfilling prophecy-but not the prophecy God calls His people to advance or embrace. The world is being drawn into a single religious and political body, as revealed by Scripture: "And all the world wondered after the beast" (Revelation 13:3). This is not a revival of godliness; it is universal apostasy-a global movement that, under the appearance of unity, peace, and love, is leading people away from Bible…
