Draping Of Kamehameha Statue Honolulu
June 06,.2012
Draping ceremony
The most important ritual dates back to 1901 after the Territory of Hawai i was established. It is the evening draping ceremony in which the Kamehameha Statue in front of Ali iolani Hale and Iolani Palace on King Street in downtown Honolulu is draped in long strands of lei. The same is done at the Kamehameha Statue on the former monarch's home island, the Big Island of Hawai i. Outside of the state, a similar draping ceremony is held at the United States Capitol where the Kamehameha Statue there is also draped in lei in the company of federal officials... Here are some photos of today's wonderful event :-)
