Every year on the second Sunday of May Niue celebrates white Sunday which for them is a christian festival for children. White Sunday is also celebrated on the same day as mother’s day. On this day children are given new white clothes to wear to the ceremony. Wearing white clothes signifies purity which for them is a result of believing that the lord Jesus died of our sins. On white Sunday children perform sermons and skits from the bible following with singing some church hymns. During that time Children often have to get up and say a bible verse and donation from family and adults to the church on the children's behalf. At the end of this event, a big feast is held which includes food like chicken, taro and sweets followed. Niue is very respectful to the christian ways of putting God first.
