FESTIVALS
This time of the year people celebrate lots.
A lot of hindu-festivals are going on, like Dussera, and Diwali. Diwali is the festival of lights, where the godess Laksmi (godess of prosperity) is being worshipped. People put lights around their houses and decorate their shops with lights. From history this is done to welcome the godess Laksmi into their homes and shops and she will bring blessings and prosperity upon homes and businesses. There is a belief in the people that if they don’t decorate in this way Laksmi will not visit with them, and therefore they will not receive the godess’ blessing.
This past month has been the muslims month of fasting (ramazan) and celebration (eid). A time of celebration, it seems!
We too should celebrate, every day (!), our King!
