Greetings Brothers and Sisters, One God, The Power of the Trinity –His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie I
From the moment we are born and throughout our life we are governed by politics. Politics governs: the food we eat, the clothes
we wear, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the medicine we take, the vaccination our babies are given, the education our
children receive, the mind of the mentally unstable, the institutionalisation of the young men/women in the penal system and
where ones are laid to rest.
Although the Rastafarian People make up a sizeable percentage of the Jamaican population, they have no political
representation, and as such have no voice in the Upper House - the Senate or the Lower House - House of Representatives.
We must be courageous to change the things that we can change.
Please support Ammanuel Ascento Foxe, Commander of the Order of the Star of Ethiopia, as Senator in Jamaica Parliament to
represent Rastafarian people and all conscientious people in Jamaica.
Please visit the Church’s website at www.himchurch.org and leave your name and email address to support this application.
One Love
Haile Selassie I Liveth!

Ethiopian Christmas (Melkam Genna)
A Statement from the Crown Council of Ethiopia by its President,
His Imperial Highness Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie Haile-Selassie
29th Tahsas' 2010 (January 7, 2018)
His Imperial Highness Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie Haile-Selassie, President of the Crown Council (center); flanked by the
Hon. Brendan Nelson, AO, Director of the Australian War Memorial, and Dr Berhanu Wolde-Kidan, GOSE, President of the
Federation of Ethiopian Community Association Council of Australia, during the Prince’s Commemorative Visit to Australia
in June 2017.
We wish all Ethiopian People, at home and in the Diaspora, a blessed Ethiopian Christmas (Melkam Genna).
There is strength in forgiveness, so may this wondrous holiday season usher in an era of peace and reconciliation amongst
all our people, remembering that what we share in our three millennia of collective history — our bond — is greater than
anything which could temporarily divide us.
We are all at a crucial crossroads in our great nation. Where there were mistakes and miscalculations we need an earnest
reform and corrections. These require of us a courageous commitment of action: Sincere applications and concrete steps to
fulfill promises of words. Inevitably, challenges will emerge, but the key is to reflect with patience and magnanimity in
seeking tolerant outcomes.
We are all encouraged by the spirit of reconciliation. True reconciliation cannot exist in the absence of justice and it must
include an affirmation to correct inequalities, real or perceived. It is a journey as well as a destination.
Let us embark on this path with open hearts and vigilance. We are all stakeholders, and which outcomes we choose will
determine our collective destiny. Ethiopians are an ancient and wise people, confident in their faith and humanity. Let us
pray that sanity and magnanimity will prevail over hatred and violence.
Let us all embrace challenges as opportunities. Let us all commit ourselves to work for peace not only amongst ourselves
with all our neighbors within Ethiopia’s boundaries and within a region peopled by our cousins. We have known each
other, and shared with each other, for many millennia. We can, and will, resolve any obstacles, and build a great future
together.
May the Almighty continue to guide and bless our People and Country. Let us chart together a peaceful and prosperous
Nation, confident in itself and its future.

Rastafarian Holy Days
~~~
|
|
|
|
Rastafarians have many days that are celebrated and recognized; 5 days amongst many, which are considered special
and sacred are:
|
|
| |
|
The date in which we are given life to serve our God in the image in which we are created; to serve with all our
mind, heart, and soul.
|
|
|
This day represents a major Holy Day with service. After service, family day celebration starts with the playing of
Rasta Music (e.g., Reggae) with refreshments, closing with a prayer from the Priest.
...Today is a day on which Ethiopia is stretching her hands to God in joy and thankfulness and revealing her happiness
to her children.... This day, on which the people of Ethiopia are freed from oppressive foreign yoke and eternal
servitude and on which I am enabled to rejoin my people, whom I love and have longed for, will be honoured as a
holiday to be commemorated annually as a Great Ethiopian Anniversary. On this day we shall remember those heroic
warriors who, determined not to surrender the great charge passed on to them by their Father, became sacrifices,
shedding their blood and breaking their bones for the freedom of the land they loved and for the honour of their
Emperor and their flag. The history of Ethiopia will be witness for these Our warriors.
|
|
|
Rastalogy accepts this day as the Second Advent of the Cosmic Christ, fulfilling Isaiah Chapter 9 v6, “For unto us a
Child is born, unto us a Son is given, Tafari.”.
This day represents a major Holy Day; celebrated as a family day with a short prayer service giving thanks to
Yahweh, for the birth of His Son, Tafari. Service starts (e.g., 11am), followed by a celebration consisting of Rasta
Music and food.
|
|
October 7th 1928 (7 Maskaram) - Divine Kingship of Rastafari
|
|
This day represents a Holy Day. This is when Rastafari was acclaimed ‘Negus’, King of Ethiopia, fulfilling Isaiah
43v15, “I am the Lord Rastafari your Holy One Creator of Israel, your King.”. The Church of Haile Selassie I
celebrates with short Prayer and Service starting at 11am.
|
|
|
This represents the Transfiguration Day of Negus Ras Tafari to Emperor Haile Selassie I, ‘Might of the Trinity’
fulfilling Revelation 5v5, “The Lion of the Tribe of Judah has prevailed.” This day represents the Holy Day when
Rastafari was acclaimed ‘Negus Negast’ King of kings Emperor of Ethiopia; Fulfilling Isaiah 43v15;
“I am the Lord Rastafari your Holy One Creator of Israel, your King.”
This day is celebrated quietly with a short Prayer Service (e.g., starting 11am). Then celebrate with Rasta Music,
rice and peas, vegetables and fish, closing with a short Prayer of thanksgiving by the Priest with blessing.
The history of Ethiopia for the past half a century has revolved materially around events in which Haile Selassie First
has been the prime mover. In times of stress, in times of joy, his leadership in resolving the hopes, fears and
aspirations of the Ethiopian people has been distinctive, his guidance indispensable and decisive. His people and the
world have acclaimed him a fighter not only in defence of the integrity of Ethiopia. He has been a champion for world
peace and a man whose principles have contributed manfully to the history of his day and age. His public utterances
in this phase of the national and international drama of peace and war speak by themselves most eloquently.
|
|
|
This is an opportunity for all those who believe in the plight of Ethiopians, Africans, Rastafarians, and
conscientious people around the globe, who Love Justice and hate aggression, to pledge their support by donating
to The Church of Haile Selassie I and the I.E.W.F. in the execution of the Aims and Objectives of the Imperial
Ethiopian World Federation.
We overstand the various financial pressures we face in our daily lives and the numerous worthy causes needing
our financial contributions; therefore we are asking our supporters to "reach out" on each of our Holy Days and
donate (1$, 5$, 10$, 20$, 50$, 100$, 500$+, etc.) whatever we are able to give on one of those days listed above
(no amount is too small). We hope this relieves some pressure, but still provides specific opportunities
throughout the year to contribute to a cause important to each of us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We welcome whatever support we receive and ask that JAH richly bless our supporters.
Thank You! JAH Guide and Protect!
Malchijah
Servant of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I
