Design Insight: Meskel Demera bag design
September marks the end of Ethiopia’s three-month long torrential monsoon rains. With that it inaugurates its new year (September 11) and spring time. It is a season filled with excitement and the high sprit of renewal and expectations of a new harvest and yet another round of celebrations, festivals, anticipated life moves and happenings. Nature pours out her wonderful bounties in prolific variety and abundance.
The land is everywhere decked with a kaleidoscope of blossoms filling the air with their enchanting fragrances of which the yellow daisy or Meskel Flower is the most visible and omnipresent. There is also a Meskel bird – the usually unremarkable gray fire-finch that grows special red and yellow plumage for the season. All this comes together in the feast of Meskel wherein culture and nature, history and the new year combine in a celebration that is unique to Ethiopia although its theme is common to all Christendom. The Meskel Festival commemorates the finding by Queen Helen, mother of the first Roman Christian Emperor Constantine – of the wooden cross on which Jesus was crucified.
