RastafarianismOriginating in Jamaica in 1930, Rastafarianism is a religious and cultural movement that has many links with the Jewish and Christian faiths. The original devotees to Rastafarianism, known in short as Rastas, were Jamaicans led by Marcus Garvey, a charismatic Jamaican leader. He prophesised the crowning of Haile Selassie as King, God and saviour of the black people of the world. Ras (meaning Lord), Tafari (a family name) was the prince who, in 1930, was crowned Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
