As we told you earlier this week, Rastafarians will be celebrating Halie Selassie's birthday this weekend.
The Rasta United Organization will be having an all day celebration at BTL Park on Sunday - with a fair during the day and a concert in the evening.
Ras Ruben and Serafim Gabourel explained that it's kind a recruitment drive - and orientation session for the wider society:..
Ras Ruben
"The whole aspect of sharing is to enlighten the people about his majesty divinity and to teach the people. It's all about education, so at this time when we say to be festive and celebrate is also to educate and enlighten the people so that they become more aware of his Imperial Majesty and would bring the message to the broader community because a lot of people want to know."
Serafim Gabourel
"That's what Rastafarian is about - doing good, because the man of right is God in man and the man of wrong is Satan in man. Once we beat the drum we release the tension from the people and bring calmness and harmony once again - bring back the love, the love that we lost, we need to bring that forward."
The event starts at 10:00 am on Sunday.
