Mānawatia a Matariki ... Happy Māori New Year!
Tomorrow, we celebrate Matariki, a time for remembrance, celebrating the present and looking to the future. The theme for 2024 is 'Matariki heri kai' and comes from the Māori proverb ‘Matariki whetū heri kai’ meaning ‘Matariki, the bringer of food’. People are encouraged to view Matariki as a time to journey home, spend time with whānau and friends, and enjoy feasting on fresh, locally sourced produce.
The weather is expected to be clear tomorrow morning if you'd like to view the rising of the Matariki star cluster. Matariki (also known as Pleiades), will be visible in the eastern skies just before sunrise. Find the constellation of Orion and the three stars of Orion’s belt (also known as Tautoru), then look left towards the bright red star of Taumatakuku (also known as Aldebaran). Matariki will be just a little further to the left, past Jupiter. The best time for viewing Matariki will be between 5.30-6.45am.
The Saint Johns Butchery store will be CLOSED on Friday, so our team can return to their whānau and loved ones for the day. We'll be open for business as usual on Saturday and Sunday. Our opening hours this long weekend:
Friday ... CLOSED
Saturday ... 8.00am - 6.00pm
Sunday ... 8.30am - 5.00pm
