Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community will be celebrating? Today begins the Hindu celebration of Holi.
Holi is also known as the Festival of Colors and is an annual festival celebrated on the day after the full moon in the Hindu month of Phalguna (early March). Holi is a symbol of the triumph of good over evil. It marks the start of spring and is also celebrated to give thanks for a good harvest. The festival revolves around putting color on each other’s faces and indulging in sweet delicacies that are made this day.
There are students at WMS who will be observing this holiday. We wish all people at WMS observing this holiday, Happy Holi!
Have a good day everyone!
