Present a lei with a kiss to the cheek, or with a hug, or
a simple handshake. Give it to that special person by draping the garland
around his or her shoulders. This custom comes from the Hawaiian culture
which considers the head and shoulders sacred parts of the body.
Hawaii leis are presented to express congratulations, love,
friendship, good luck, welcome, and farewell.
The beautiful fragrance
of the
red carnation and the delicate
Illima Lei adorn the lovely
Lehua Kalili.
Nothing shares the spirit
of Aloha better than a lei.
Lei Greeters of Magical Fires of Polynesia,
