Ngā mihi o te Tau Hou

I te pao o te karaka i waenganui pō i te 31 o Hakihea, ka ora te ao i te whakanui harikoa o te Tau Hou. Ko tēnei huihuinga ā-tau te tīmatanga o tētahi tau hou, kī tonu i te tumanako, i ngā whakataunga, me te kupu whakaari mō ngā tīmatanga hou. Huri noa i te ao, ka whai wāhi te iwi ki ngā tikanga me ngā whakanuitanga maha hei manaaki i te Tau Hou, ia mea e whakaata ana i ō rātou ahurea me ā rātou tikanga ahurei.

Te Hiranga o te Rā o te Tau Hou

Ehara i te mea he rā noa iho i runga i te maramataka te Rā o te Tau Hou; he tohu hoki mō te whakaaroaro me te whakahou. He maha ngā tāngata e whai wāhi ana ki tēnei wā ki te titiro whakamuri ki te tau kua hipa, ki te aromatawai i ā rātou whakatutukitanga me ngā wero. He wā anō hoki tēnei hei whakatakoto i ngā whāinga mō te tau e tū mai nei, ā, he maha ngā wā ka arahi atu ki te waihanga i ngā whakataunga Tau Hou. Ka taea e ēnei whakataunga te ahu mai i ngā whāinga whaiaro, pērā i te whakapai ake i te hauora me te oranga tinana, ki ngā wawata whānui pērā i te whakatipu whanaungatanga pai ake, te whai rānei i ngā whai wāhitanga mahi hou.

Ngā Whakanuitanga o te Ao

He rerekē ngā ahurea e whakanui ana i te Rā o te Tau Hou i roto i ngā huarahi kanorau, hihiri hoki. I te Hononga o Amerika, ko te pōro rongonui i Times Square, i te Tāone o Niu Ioka, he tohu nui o te whakanui. E huihui ana ngā mano tini ki te mātakitaki i te tatau whakamuri, ā, ka mutu ki te whakaaturanga whakamiharo o ngā ahi ahi me te konipeti. I taua wā, i Pāniora, he tikanga te kai i ngā karepe tekau mā rua i waenganui pō—kotahi mō ia pao o te karaka—hei kawe mai i te waimarie mō te tau e haere ake nei.

I Hapani, ko te Rā o te Tau Hou, ko te "Shogatsu" rānei, he wā mō ngā huihuinga whānau me ngā kai tuku iho. Ka haere te iwi ki ngā wāhi tapu ki te inoi mō te hauora me te oranga i te tau hou. Waihoki, i roto i te maha o ngā whenua o Amerika Latina, ko te tikanga o te mau i ngā kākahu o roto tae - whero mō te aroha me te kōwhai mō te oranga - ka tāpiri i te ahua ngahau ki ngā whakanuitanga.

Ngā Kai me ngā Tikanga Whakanui

He mea nui te kai i roto i ngā whakanuinga o te Tau Hou puta noa i te ao. I te tonga o te Hononga o Amerika, ka kainga ngā pīni pango hei oranga ngākau, engari i Itari, ko ngā pīni he tohu mō te taonga me te whai rawa. I Kariki, ka tunua he keke motuhake e kīia ana ko "Vasilopita" me tētahi moni huna, ā, ko te tangata e kitea ana e ia ka whai waimarie mō te tau.

I roto i ngā ahurea maha, he mea noa ngā ahi kā i te Pō Tau Hou, e whakamārama ana i te rangi pō, e hanga ana i te wairua harikoa me te tumanako. He maha ngā wā ka haere tahi te tangi o ngā ahi kā me te hamama me te kata, i te wā e huihui ana ngā hoa me ngā whānau ki te whakanui i te taenga mai o te tau hou.

Te Awhi i ngā Tīmatanga Hou

I a tātou e whakanui ana i te Rā o te Tau Hou, he mea nui kia awhi i te wairua o te whakahoutanga me te tumanako e haere tahi mai ana me ia. Ka tukuna e te Tau Hou he papa kau, he wāhi ki te tuku i ngā amuamu o mua, me te arotahi ki te tipu whaiaro me te harikoa. Ahakoa mā te whakatakoto whakataunga, te noho tahi me te hunga e arohaina ana, te whai wāhi atu rānei ki ngā tikanga tuku iho, ko te uho o te Rā o te Tau Hou e pā ana ki te tumanako me te kaha ki te heke mai kanapa.
