Rastafari and it's links to Africa

Rastafari is an Abrahamic belief  which developed in Jamaica during the 1930s after the coronation of Haile Sellaise I as the emperor of Ethiopia (he was also the last emperor of Ethiopia).

Followers of Rastafari worship Haile Sellaise I much like how Christians worship Jesus Christ, and how Muslims worship the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh*).

The name Rastafari comes from Haile Sellaise I's first name, Tafari (full name Tafari Makonnen), and his title, Ras (direct translation is head, means prince or chief in Ethiopia).

Many aspects of Rastafari has origins in Ethiopian culture, the flag also adopts colours ans symbols from Ethiopia's culture and history.
