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.

...have a Happy Matariki.
Matariki sounds like a deeply meaningful time to pause, honour the past, and welcome the new year with reflection and connection under the stars
Happy Matariki! Enjoy!
I wish we had Matariki when I was young. There seems to be so much going on. It's a great celebration.
Nice to read this background story about the Maori and the Pleiades.
