The Rastafarian
religion originated in Africa.
Welcome to my
little casa on the world wide web.
Navigating throughtout my entire site
you'll learn more about me, and the
Rastafarian Religion. Enjoy!
It is often
associated with the poorer black
popluation of Jamaica. It is not just a
religion, but a way of life. Rastafarians
speak out against; poverty, oppression
and inequality....not just religion ideas
but global problems. Rastafarians will us
the bible for guidence.
The prime basic
belief of the rastafarians is that Haile
Selassie is the living God for the black
race. Selassie, whose previous name was
Ras Tafari, was the black Emperor of
Ethophia. Rastafarians say scriptures
prophesised him as the one with "the
hair of whose head was like wool(the
matted hair of I black man), whose feet
were like unto burning brass (I black
skin)".
The Lion of Judah
respresents Haile Selassie, the
Conqueror. It respresents the King of
Kings as a lion is the king of all
beasts.

THE BASICS
Rasta
flag: The
red, yellow, green are the colors of the
Rasta flag. The red symbolizes the blood
of black people, the yellow the stolen
gold and the green the lost lands of
Africa. The Rasta flag can also be seen
during coptic celebration in the
motherland Ethiopia. These colors are too
on the senegalese flag, from where
thousand of slaves were deported,
transiting by the Goree island.
The
star of David:
The star of David is the symbol of
the linkage between HIM Haile Selassie
and David. When HIM make the Solomon seal
with his hands, you can see that it looks
like the star of david. Also, the Rasta
consider themselves like the Israelites
in exile in Babylon. The star of David is
the symbol of Israel.
The
Conquering Lion and the Lamb:
they both symbolize
HIM Haile Selassie according to the
Revelations and the opening of the seven
seals. They are two faces of a same
reality, the Alpha and Omega.
