Happy Holi (Phagwah) to all my family and friends…It’s on Monday March 17th, but they started it early here at The Fort, in Fort Street, Kingston GT, and the crowd got me real good…guess I must be mad eh?..LOL -- Legend of Holi/Phagwah: Phagwah is a Hindu religious holiday observed in March to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. Hindus traditionally wear white on Phagwah day and indulge in the throwing upon each other of a harmless liquid called abeer. Abeer is a red dye which symbolizes the blood of the tyrannical King Kiranya who in Hindu lore was ordered burnt alive by his son Prince Prahalad because of the suffering which his people endured at the hands of his father. Powder, perfume, and water are also thrown on family, friends and neighbors on this day by Hindus and non-Hindus alike in what is an amusing, good-natured and joyful celebration.
