]]> http://www.habarnam.org/hawaii-holidays/latest-hawaii-holidays-auctions-12/feed 0 Easter in Hawaii, a question about holidays and terms.? http://www.habarnam.org/hawaii-holidays/easter-in-hawaii-a-question-about-holidays-and-terms http://www.habarnam.org/hawaii-holidays/easter-in-hawaii-a-question-about-holidays-and-terms#comments Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:11:37 +0000 admin http://www.habarnam.org/hawaii-holidays/easter-in-hawaii-a-question-about-holidays-and-terms Is there a Hawaiian term for our modern holiday Easter, or better yet, a native Hawaiian holiday either close to our Easter chronologically or even religiously? I’m not asking a somehow identical kind of “Hawaiian lord and savior” retuning… but, eh? Something “kind of the same?”

Thank you very much.

]]> http://www.habarnam.org/hawaii-holidays/latest-hawaii-holidays-auctions-6/feed 0 Overview Of Hawaiian Holidays http://www.habarnam.org/hawaii-holidays/overview-of-hawaiian-holidays http://www.habarnam.org/hawaii-holidays/overview-of-hawaiian-holidays#comments Wed, 26 May 2010 14:56:06 +0000 admin http://www.habarnam.org/hawaii-holidays/overview-of-hawaiian-holidays Are you moving to Hawaii and have no idea what kind of holidays you can expect to enjoy? If you’re moving to Hawaii from somewhere else in the United States then you’re going to celebrate pretty much the same holidays that you already do. But, you’ll also be adding some Hawaii holidays to that list as well, so those are the ones we’re focusing on here. Now you’ll have an idea of new holidays you have to look forward to and a basic understanding of their meanings. Official Hawaii Holidays

These three holidays are the official Hawaii holidays, which means banks and government agencies are usually closed on these days.

• Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day – This is celebrated on March 26th with a parade on Oahu, luaus, and canoe races around the state. It’s also known as “Kuhio Day”. This holiday is in honor of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole’s birthday and was established in 1949. Who is Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole? Born in 1871, he’s most commonly known for convincing congress to appoint public land for native Hawaiian families. His parents were High Chief David Kahalepouli and Princess Kinoki Kekaulike.

• Admissions Day – This holiday comes around on the 3rd Friday in August and is also called “Statehood Day”. However, you won’t hear locals call it that very often. Admissions Day celebrates Hawaii finally being officially recognized as a U.S. state in 1959 (The 50th state). Hawaii had failed to be recognized many times over the previous fifty years, before it finally happened.

• King Kamehameha I Day – This holiday happens every year on June 11th, and is celebrated by parades, music festivals, hula, and the late king’s statue being adorned with flower leis. Most people call this holiday Kamehameha Day, and it’s the only official holiday still celebrated that was established by royalty. In 1871, King Kamehameha V established this holiday to show respect and honor for his great grandfather. King Kamehameha, born on the Big Island, was proficiently trained in the art of battle and was brought up by foster parents. He was the first unified rule of the islands, which is what he’s remembered most for.

Unofficial Hawaii Holidays

Hawaii has a diverse population, so there are many other holidays that are celebrated, but not official holidays. These holidays include, but aren’t limited to Boy’s Day, May Day, Chinese New Year, and Girl’s Day.

• May Day – Celebrated in the first week of May, this holiday is also called “Lei Day”. It’s in honor of the flower lei and began in 1928. During May Day flower leis are worn and there are usually parades, festivities, and programs that are in honor of the holiday.

• Boy’s Day – This is a very old Japanese holiday that is celebrated on May 5th. Carp kites are displayed on bamboo poles outside the home. One is hung for each boy in the household to show power and strength, with the belief it will bring the boys courage and competence. Although this is a Japanese holiday, Hawaii children enjoy celebrating with face painting, making carp kites and dining on Japanese food.

• Girl’s Day – This is another Japanese holiday that is celebrated in Hawaii on March 3rd. This holiday envelopes beauty, peace, and feminism; wishing the young girls marriage and happiness with displays of dolls. Sweet, pounded rice cakes called mocha are often eaten during this time. Other celebrations include parades, dancing, and wearing kimonos.

• Chinese New Year – Some time between January and February this Chinese holiday is celebrated in Hawaii. It’s celebrated by parades, tea ceremonies, and firecrackers. The Narcissus Festival Pageant is also a highlight. The biggest festivity during the Chinese New Year is the Lion Dance performed to the music of drum beats, wearing exotic costumes. The dancers (or lions) crouch and are given money for prosperity and luck – and to keep evil spirits away.
