CULTURE IS A SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS SOCIALISM

Culture can play a vital role in strengthening socialism, fostering social ties, and laying the foundation for peace and development.
The celebration of Antrosh/Mother’s Day in Meskan Woreda, Beytebon Kebele is no exception. Mother’s Day is celebrated in a special way every year in the Gurage community, Ethiopia. It is a day when children, grandchildren, husbands, and the whole community come together to celebrate and honour mothers.

Antrosh is a social holiday celebrated in Meskan Woreda to honour mothers. While it has been celebrated since ancient times, it is important to note that the delay of Antrosh holiday may lead to its disappearance. It is crucial to maintain the celebration of this important holiday. Therefore, the Woreda community, including scholars and cultural experts, should work towards preserving this tradition.
The heads of the Mesqan Woreda Women and Children’s Office, Culture and Tourism Office, and other leaders were celebrated in the presence of guests.
In addition, Indigolebt raised awareness of the benefits of lemat and encouraged backyard food production to promote self-sufficiency, economic viability and a balanced dietary system.

According to Mrs. Haregewoyin Tesfaye, the head of women and children of Meskan district, the Antrosh holiday has been celebrated in Hayat Q/Hayat since ancient times. Ms. Haregeweyn Tesfaye is responsible for preserving and respecting this tradition with the help of many scholars and cultural experts. Efforts should be made to ensure that it is passed down from generation to generation. There has been a suggestion that there should be respect for this holiday in our woreda.
