Hello, good afternoon friends, I hope you are great, today I want to share a little more about the Rastafari culture, we know that this is a movement, based on spiritual philosophical beliefs, originated in Jamaica.

>Hola, buenas tardes amigos, espero esten genial, hoy les quiero compartir un poco mas en lo referente a la cultura Rastafari, sabemos que este es un movimiento, basado en creencias Espirituales filosoficas originado en Jamaica.

This trend emerged, approximately in 1930, in the poorest neighborhoods of the Capital of Jamaica Kingston.

>Esta corriente surgio, aproximadamente en 1930, en los barrios mas pobres de la Capital de Jamaica Kingston.

His Inspirer was the businessman Marcus Garvey. He was always in favor of the improvement, continuous of the black man, promoting brotherhood between Africans and defending their rights.

Another Character of Great Importance for the Rasta Culture, It was Haile Selassie this Represents God, his birth name was Ras Tafari. He is considered a redeemer.

> Otro Personaje de Gran importancia para la Cultura Rasta, Fue Haile Selassie este Representa a Dios, su nombre de nacimiento fue Ras Tafari. Es considerado un redentor. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPH4N6gKnmtovmQqJa5KW2MFP3twNuwUbNUSmYmfku7QW/image.png) The Rastafarian, in my view, are people, who live a quite Spiritual lifestyle, in harmony with the world and nature, their economy depends on their crafts and music, their hair sports a characteristic look, dreadlocks use Marijuana with a Spiritual purpose, this culture has gained much respect, over time, thanks to Musicians like Bob Marley who made it known. > El rastafari, a mi modo de ver son personas, que viven un estilo de vida bastante Espiritual, en armonia con el mundo y la naturaleza, su economia depende de sus artesanias y musica, su cabello luce un look caracteristico, dreadlocks usan la Marihuana con un fin Espiritual, esta cultura ha ganado mucho respeto, a traves del tiempo, gracias a Musicos como Bob Marley que la dieron a conocer. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWrcY2BUSRvu6FtKqN972mekkkgGAYNxbJHGLPdFWM5y4/image.png) Learning a little more about this interesting philosophy of Life, it is good to know that in the Rasta culture they do not celebrate Christmas on the same date as us, for them January 7 is Christmas or Melkam Gena .. > Aprendiendo un poco mas sobre esta interesante, filosofia de Vida, es bueno conocer que en la cultura Rasta no celebran la navidad en la misma fecha que nosotros, para Ellos el 07 de enero es la Navidad o Melkam Gena .. This occurs in Ethiopia and is governed by the Julian calendar, so it is a little after Christian Christmas. > Esta, se da en Etiopia y se rigen por el calendario, Juliano por eso es un poco despues de la navidad cristiana. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYYrd8akF91dKP7tLbeU7R7BkSeg4PUVgCrXgqzdZHyc8/image.png) The day before, Christmas or gena, a fast is held, ceremonies are held inside the churches, they do not by tradition give gifts to children, they receive small details, the most important thing for them is family sharing. > El dia anterior, a la navidad o gena, se realiza un ayuno, ceremonias dentro de las iglesias, no tienen por tradicion dar regalos a los niños, reciben pequeños detalles, siendo para ellos lo mas importante el compartir familiar. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNbENG9UqrEf8dkY5bvsvTjgZHe8DsBKbWeQ8jgBJ7QCN/image.png) It is a date in which a beautiful energy is felt. The streets of the Capital of Ethiopia show vibrant colors, hallucinatory to the Rastafarian culture, green, yellow and red. Meditation and prayer are present on this special day, music, praise to the rhythm of drums accompanied by sistrum and kebero percussion instruments flood the city, giving space to the meeting of the Rasta brotherhood. Children play Gena, a sporting activity very similar to Jockey, which consists of some wooden sticks, with which they hit a lamb bone, two teams are made, the one that scores the most goals wins. >Es una fecha en la que se siente una energia hermosa las calles de la Capital de Etiopia lucen vibrantes colores, alucivos a la cultura rastasfari, verde amarillo y rojo. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmb9anvQGjASHEjzKMKNML8ppkxdNsziwqSUy6zuZZ8j3K/image.png) La Meditacion y oracion se hacen presentes en este dia especial, la musica, de alabanza al ritmo de tambores acompañados del sistro y el kebero instrumentos de percusion inundan la ciudad, dando cavida a la reunion de la hermandad rasta. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUtNGFvVgnUHVkFyY2q7vUVhWfFsV9AU6zQXAMaPrmy2t/image.png) Los niños Juegan el Gena una actividad deportiva muy parecida al Jockey que consiste en unos bastones de madera, con el que golpean un hueso de cordero, se hacen dos equipos ganando el que mas goles acierte. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTrowjU2LpFVmDCf35yy2kB1kPSRV4QfYxvZ2MzDzAiCb/image.png) Until a new opportunity dear friends Merry Christmas Ethiopia is one of the oldest countries in Africa for this reason the Julian calendar still prevails in them, I rejoice before you to present a little more of the Rasta culture and some of its traditions I hope you enjoy of this writing blessings! >Hasta una nueva oportunidad queridos amigos feliz navidad Etiopia es uno de los paises de mayor antiguedad de africa por esta razon aun prevalece el calendario juliano en ellos, Me regocijo ante ustedes de presentarles un poco mas de la cultura Rasta y algunas de sus tradiciones espero disfruten de este escrito bendiciones!
