Haile Selassie's Coronation Day

The Rastafarians of Jamaica worship Haile Selassie I, “Might of the Trinity.” His original name was Tafari Makonnen, and he was emperor of Ethiopia under the name Ras (meaning “Prince”) Tafari. Rastafarians consider the Ethiopian emperor the Messiah and son of God, and the champion of their race. The Rastafarians’ most important celebration is the anniversary of Haile Selassie’s Coronation Day, which occurred on November 2, 1930. The dedication of babies to Ras Tafari, recitations, and singing are typically part of the celebrations on this day. Discuss
