Yesterday, I went to the Holi Festival of Colors with two of my friends, Annika, and Tiana. It was at the Krishna Temple, in Spanish Fork. It is a festival where they celebrate the Holiday Holi. In India, Holi announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. Young and old are covered with colors (red, green, yellow, blue, pink, black and silver). People are seen singing, dancing and throwing colors on each other. There were musical interludes, Indian classical dance, cuisine, and the lighting of a bonfire.
The throwing of the colors on eachother symbolizes everyone being alike in one way even though we are all different! It was so much fun, and I can't wait until next year!
There was a Llama farm there!
They have a "throwing" at 1:00pm and 4:00pm. The "throwing" is when they do a count down from 10....10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1!! And then every single person throws all of their powder paint in the air and at eachother and it looks like this! We were right in the middle of it, so we were inhaling it! It isn't toxic but it still was kinda scary! But sooooo fun.
Also, Jenny just got back from Florida today! She had such a fun time, and here are some pictures from her trip!
