Matariki

 


Tomorrow (Friday) is known as Matariki and it is a public holiday. The word is Maori and the meaning of it is for the star cluster "Pleiades" which signifies the Maori New Year. The name Matariki is associated with the eyes of the God Tawhirimatea and it is a time of reflection, remembrance and celebration.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Matariki sounds like a deeply meaningful time to pause, honour the past, and welcome the new year with reflection and connection under the stars
