Rastafarian Flags History
The Rastafarian flag and the meaning which it symbolizes are very powerful icons. With the proliferation of Bob Marley and the massive spread of his music, Rastafarian flags were, in turn, popularized and made into an everyday, recognizable image. Bob Marley was so closely associated with Rastafarian culture, this was an inevitability. The spotlight was placed on Rastafarian reggae music and the world soon found out that Reggae is about Jah, and Jah is all about the love. The Rastafarian flag holds a special place in the hearts of all members of the Rastafarian culture.
The Rastafarian flag is a combination of the old Ethiopian flag, the Jamaican Flag, and the Lion of Judah symbol. Rastafarian flags are red, yellow and green in color. The red stands for the blood of its people. The yellow symbolizes the minerals and resources or stolen gold. Finally, the green represents the African land which was lost.
The Rastafarian flag is also utilized during the Coptic celebration in Ethiopia. The colors of Rastafarian flags are also used in the Senegalese flag. Senegalese is where countless slaves were deported, so the relationship is clear.
