*History*
Rastafari, also known as Rastafarianism, is an Abrahamic religion that developed in Jamaica during the 1930s. It is classified as both a new religious movement and a social movement by scholars of religion. There is no central authority in control of the movement and much diversity exists among practitioners, who are known as Rastafari, Rastafarians, or Rastas.
Rasta beliefs are based on a specific interpretation of the Bible. Central is a monotheistic belief in a single God—referred to as Jah—who partially resides within each individual. Rastafari also maintains that Jah incarnated in human form as Jesus Christ. Rastas accord Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Ethiopia between 1930 and 1974, central importance; many regard him as the Second Coming of Christ and thus Jah incarnate, while others see him as a human prophet who fully recognized the inner divinity in every individual. Rastafari is Afrocentric and focuses attention on the African diaspora, which it believes is oppressed within Western society, or “Babylon”. Many Rastas call for this diaspora’s resettlement in Africa, a continent they consider the Promised Land of “Zion”. Some practitioners extend these views into black supremacism. Rastas refer to their practices as “livity”. Communal meetings are known as “groundations”, and are typified by music, chanting, discussions, and the smoking of cannabis, the latter regarded as a sacrament with beneficial properties. Rastas emphasise what they regard as living “naturally”, adhering to ital dietary requirements, twisting their hair into dreadlocks, and following patriarchal gender roles.

HOW TO DETERMINE BRACELET SIZE:
These simple instructions will help you measure your wrist properly to determine the bracelet size and fit.
The bracelet will hang between the hand and wrist bone, which is the most attractive position.
When measuring for bracelets, use a flexible, soft tape measure, tightly where your wrist is BROADEST–the area below the wrist bone (just above your hand). This is ones actual wrist size, not your bracelet size.
*Make sure the palm of your hand is facing up
*Open your hand (doing so will ensure you get the real size of your wrist when it’s the largest)
*Snuggly wrap a measuring tape around your wrist
*Read the size on the measuring tape, preferably in inches or centimeters
2.5 cm = 1 inch
