파리 올림픽을 앞두고 축복을 받은 올림픽 카카후

Share:

마오리 왕 키잉기 투헤이티아우가 올림픽에서 뉴질랜드 국기 소지자들이 착용하게 될 새로운 올림픽 깃털 망토, 즉 카카후를 축복했습니다.손으로 짠 이 망토의 공개와 축복은 화요일 응아루와히아의 투랑가와에 마라에에서 열렸습니다.게스트 중에는 2004년 아테네 올림픽에서 깃발을 든 베아트리체 파우무이나도 있었다.

키잉기탕가의 대변인 응기라 시몬즈 (Ngira Simmonds) 는 이 망토를 위대한 마나, 즉 권력과 존경을 상징하는 아름다운 예술 작품으로, 왕의 축복을 받을 만한 가치가 있다고 묘사했습니다.그는 왕의 고인이 된 어머니인 테 아리키누이 테 아타이랑기카후가 2004년 아테네 올림픽에서 입었던 망토로 비슷한 의식을 치렀다고 언급했습니다.

새로운 카카후는 뉴질랜드 올림픽 위원회 위원인 라누이 응가리무가 제작했으며 완성하는 데 약 16개월이 걸렸습니다.테호노 키 마타리키 (Te Hono ki Matariki) 라는 이름이 붙여졌으며, 올해 파리 하계 올림픽과 2026년 이탈리아 동계 올림픽 개막식에서 뉴질랜드 국기 소지자들이 착용할 예정입니다.

리즈 도슨 (Liz Dawson) NZOC 회장은 마카후가 키위 선수단 문화의 중심인 마오리 전통을 대표한다고 말했다.그녀는 이 보물을 만들어 준 라누이와 그의 축복에 대해 키잉기 투헤이티아에게 감사를 표했다.또한 도슨은 이번 기념일이 20년 전 고 마오리 여왕과 처음 맺어진 유대인 키잉기탕가 (Kiingitanga) 와 NZOC의 관계를 강화하는 날이었다고 말했다.

키잉기 투헤이티아는 파리 올림픽 참가를 위한 NZOC의 초대를 수락했다.
