Welcome Spring!!!

Utah is an amazing place to experience the birth of Spring.

Spanish Fork, UT is the home to the Krishna Temple of the Hindu faith.  The Indian culture welcomes Spring with the Holi Festival.   Exchange students have loved going to the festival and learning of how many cultures are celebrated in America.

(I will now copy the info from the festival web page http://www.colorfestival.com/about)

In India, the Festival of Colors (Holi) announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. The festival breathes an atmosphere of joy and love. People embrace each other in a spirit of reconciliation, forgiveness, and gratitude. Every nook and corner presents a colorful sight: young and old alike covered in color, singing, dancing, laughing together.
