Abstract
The article “symbolism of fire among the Karimojong of North Eastern Uganda” is discussing about the meaning/significance of fire in the Karimojong community. The symbolism of fire in the Karimojong community did not start in the recent times; but it dates back to their dispersion area around Lake Turkana on the Valley of river Omo. Fire among the Karimojong symbolizes life and this life has to be celebrated from childhood, adolescent, adulthood to death. This life is celebrated when the child is born, initiation during teenage life, at succession ceremony and at death. The celebration of life is central in the Karimojong community of North Eastern Uganda.
