On november 2, 1930 Ras Tafari Makonnen was crowned emperor, upon his ascension to Emperor, he took as his regal name “Haile Selassie”, meaning “Power of the Trinity”. Haile Selassie’s full title in office was “His Majesty Haile Selassie I, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Kings (Emperor) of Ethiopia, Elect of God” This title reflects Ethiopian dynastic traditions, which hold that all monarchs must trace their lineage back to Menelik I, the offspring of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Rastafari LIVES!
