Grounation Day (Rastafari)

Grounation Day is the most important Rastafari holy day; it is celebrated in honor of Haile Selassie's 1966 visit to Jamaica.

Rastafari is an Abrahamic religion that developed in Jamaica during the 1930s. It is classified as both a new religious movement and a social movement by scholars of religion. There is no central authority in control of the movement and much diversity exists among practitioners, who are known as Rastafari, Rastafarians, or Rastas.
