👉 Rastafarianism is a spiritual and political movement that originated in Jamaica, United Kingdom, and other Caribbean islands. The term was coined by a Jamaican American, Ralph Abercrombie, who used it to describe his community's beliefs and practices. It is characterized by a focus on spiritual growth, self-reliance, and the importance of unity with nature.
