Healing-from-Holi-Colour

Holi. This ancient and sacred festival has been practiced since before Christ and has taken on different meanings throughout the millennia. Among other things the ritual has come to symbolize healing, of joyous celebration, of releasing resentments, and of celebrating the arrival of Spring. It is often played out in large boisterous crowds with a sense of abandonment as big as the sky. By drenching oneself in a wild array of vibrant colours one gets caught up in a contagion of mirth and love of mankind. Once Covid’s dark cloak is removed it is my hope to attend a Holi festival again.
