Jamaicans greet 2024 with prayer, fireworks and kisses
Jamaicans welcomed the new year giving praises to God at traditional watchnight services, or by enjoying the annual fireworks display on the Kingston waterfront staged by the Urban Development Corporation, or at New Year parties.
Here are a few scenes.
