Rastafari religion was founded in the 1930s when Emperor Haile Selassie I was crowned the Emperor of Ethiopia, although this event was visioned by Marcus Garvey, a black political activist, way back in 1927.



Rastafari faith is an eclectic mix of principles that have been adopted from Christian and Jewish norms. People following this faith believe that although there is only one God, He has many incarnations. In fact the people consider Emperor Haile Selassie I to be one such messiah of God although the Emperor himself never made any such claims.

The Rastafari religion is believed to have been originated in Jamaica, but today we find people of the faith spread all across the globe in different countries.
