Premier extols strength in VI's diversity
He was joined by his deputy, Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (D7) for the colourful affair.
According to Premier Fahie, “Unity is strength” and “it was a pleasure to be a part of the Hindu community's celebration of the festival of colours known as Holi day.”
He told those celebrating the auspicious occasion, “your new Administration will be one of inclusion, recognizing that while we may call the Creator by various names, we worship one God.”
Hon Fahie was adamant, “there is strength in our diversity, and we are proud to have persons of different nationalities here with us in the Virgin Islands.”
Holi—the festival of colors—traditionally marks the commencement of spring season in India after the winter season.
Similar to many other festivals in India, this festival also symbolizes the victory of good over evil in India and countries around the world where Hindu communities are located.
People of all age groups with their faces and clothes smeared with different colors of 'Gulal (powder)' celebrate the festival along with water.

Fahie on track he doing well and you can’t touch him in d1
How are we going to bring this Territory back to God Almighty if we’re turning a blind eye to reality.
Other religions worship the cow and idols. This religion believe in gods and goddesses. God says we should have no other God’s but Him no matter how you twist and turn it.
Google this celebration and see for yourself.
We can’t play with God’s laws.
We can’t expect to sell our souls by being accepting of tradition and culture that does not abide by God’s laws.
We should know better.
Quit judging!!
SUN. It's time to wake up now.
