has gloss | eng: The Makahiki season was the Ancient Hawaiian New Year festival, in honor of the god Lono. It was a holiday covering four consecutive lunar months, approximately from October or November through February or March. Thus it might be thought of as including the equivalent of modern Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions. Many religious ceremonies happened during this period. The people stopped work, made offerings to the chief or alii, and then spent their time practicing sports, feasting, dancing and having a good time. War during those four months was kapu (forbidden). Today, the Aloha Festivals (originally Aloha Week) celebrates the Makahiki tradition. |

has gloss | spa: La temporada Makahiki corresponde con el festival de Año Nuevo del Hawaii Antiguo, celebrado en honor del dios Lono. Las festividades duraban cuatro meses lunares consecutivos, aproximadamente desde octubre o noviembre hasta febrero o marzo. Esto correspondería en los tiempos modernos con la incorporación de las tradiciones del Día de Acción de Gracias y la Navidad. Muchas ceremonias religiosas coincidían con este período. La gente dejaba de trabajar, hacían al jefe o alii, y pasaban su tiempo practicando deportes, haciendo fiestas, danzando y pasándola bien. La guerra durante estos cuatro meses estaba kapu (prohibida). |
