Holi Festival

This event is one of the few things I will miss of Provo! Heather, Ross and I went last year and thought it was so much fun that we decided this year we needed to invite more people! The event is held at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork. It a Hindu celebration that brings in spring! They tell a story of a witch that would take little kids into a fire and burn them but she wouldn't get burned because she had a shawl or something that she would wear that would protect. One day she was taking a little boy in the fire and he took the shawl off her and put it on him so she got burned and he was saved.... I know its a crazy, weird story! The only thing we really listen to is when we start to count down, they light the witch on fire and chalk starts flying! For a time its hard to breath because the air is so full of chalk but it is so fun! We were glad so many people could come with us this year!
