This study proposes the creation ofa public holidayin Ghana to recognize traditional worship and ancestral veneration, advocating for equity in religious expression in a nation where only Christianity and Islam currently enjoy such privileges. Traditional African spirituality plays a vital role in Ghana’s cultural heritage, embodying values that shape community and identity. The research highlights the historical marginalization of indigenous spiritual practices, which was exacerbated by colonial influences and the dominanceofforeign religions. By drawing on examples from countries like China, Vietnam, and Benin, the studyillustrates the significance of public holidays in fostering cultural preservation and social cohesion. This initiative seeks to engage stakeholders, including citizens, parliamentarians, traditional leaders, and religious communities, emphasising the legal, cultural, and social imperatives for this recognition. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of honouring Ghana’s diverse spiritual landscape to promote national unity and pride.
