Make a Prayer Flag

Prayer flags are an important tradition and symbol in the mountainous regions of Central Asia.  Prayer flags have their roots in the Buddhist tradition but have been widely adopted as a way of wishing good health and happiness.  People hang colorful prayer flags in homes, businesses and throughout the countryside and the wishes expressed on the flags are flung to the wind. Many prayer flags have even made their way to the top of Mount Everest.

Our partner, Humanities Quilters, has generously created materials for making prayer flags.  Please stop by the library and create some for you and your family and fill Wareham with good wishes.
