Rastafarian Flag (Rastafarianism) (Rasta) Card

This design features the flag of the Rastafari movement, which is a religion that developed in Jamaica during the 1930s. There is no central authority in control of the movement and a great deal of diversity exists among practitioners, who are known as Rastafari, Rastafarians or simply Rastas. Rasta beliefs are based on a specific interpretation of the Bible: a monotheistic belief in a single God, referred to as Jah, who partially resides within each individual, is central. Rastafaris accord Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Ethiopia between 1930 and 1974, central importance in their movement; indeed, many regard him as the Second Coming of Jesus and Jah incarnate, whereas others see him as a human prophet who fully recognised the inner divinity in every individual.
