A Nyabani session, inclusive of music, chanting
and prayer is held to mark the occasion

* Ethiopian Constitution Day 16th July

Commemorates the implementation of Ethiopia's first constitution
by Haile Selassie in 1931. The constitution instigated
a Parliament and resulted in the appointment of a number
of deputies, although Emperor Haile Selassie I retained
supreme power and authority.
Rastafarians remember the history of Ethiopia and the events
that led up to the birth of the rastafari religion.
A Nyabingi session also occurs to honour the importance
of Ethiopia.

influential prophecy. Poetry is recited recalling the
historical importance of Marcus Garvey.

*Ethiopian New Year's Day 11th September

The start of the New Year in Ethiopia is recognised

Bob Marley Quotes

" Life is one big road with lots of signs
So when you riding through the ruts,
don't complicate your mind
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy
Don't bury your thoughts put your vision to reality 
Wake up and live "


" One good thing about music, when it hits
you, you feel no pain "

" The harder the battle the sweet of Jah victory "

" Don't gain the world and lose your soul
wisdom is better than silver or gold "

" None but ourselves can free our minds "

" My heart can be as hard as a stone
and yet soft as water "
