A United Nations observance focused on participation, institutions, rights, and public life.
A day for trees, awnings, courtyards, verandas, porches, fans, and the practical genius of escaping heat.
Proposed. The meskel daisy, the golden yellow flower that blooms across the highlands in September, signals the start of the Meskel celebration and the end of the rains. The hills around Asmara turn yellow. The children pick armfuls. The women weave them into crosses. The flower is seasonal, fleeting, and perfect. It lasts two weeks. The memory lasts all year.
Proposed. The sky clears. The air is sharp. The roads dry. The harvest begins. The highlands turn gold. The markets fill with fresh produce. The coffee berries are red on the trees. The season of festivals begins. Everything in Eritrea follows the rain. The rain leaves. The life begins.
