Place
of Worship
Rastafarians
worship in churches and temples. In most Caribbean churches or temples women stayed
on one side and the men stayed on the other. Some of the churches are made from
the colours of the Ethiopian flag. Some churches have names such as the Rastafarian
Gospel Church.
Christians
go to a place called a church. A church is a large building with stain glass windows
and red carpets. On top of the church there may be a cross. There may be statues
of the Christian saints in the church.
The
Hindus holy book is called the Gita. Always wash your hands before touching the
Gita. It is kept on a shelf. We pray
in a temple. If you have a temple of your own you can pray there. God is eveywhere.
We pray in a mundir. It is giant and its made out of bricks. Buddhists
pray in their temples. The place
of worship is called Gurdwara. A Gurdwara is wide and tall. There are pictures
of the Gurus around the walls. In the Gurdwara, a man or a woman reads the Guru
Granth Sahib. Taoists go to temples. They do
not worship a God. The temples have tops over tops starting from big to small Zoroastrians
go to the temple to worship their God. There would be a fire burning and they
would worhsip to that fire. |
