I looked everywhere and couldn't figure out where to put this post, but it is more something to share because most of us are familiar with the "pinata" which is an object filled usually with candy hung from a tree that children hit with a stick to break open during birthday parties and other occasions. The children are blindfolded and so everyone has a good time when the pinata is missed or when it is finally opened up and all the candy falls to the earth.
Just read a small article from the local newspaper about a couple in this area that make Pinatas (with a great little story about how they met and fell in love) .... and the article says "pinatas have a colorful history. Marco Polo brought the pinata back from China. From Italy, it floated to Spain and then to the New World. In the beginning, the pinata had religious symbolism: blind faith striking at evil; virtue rewarded by a shower of grace." You know,I love symbols ....aloha nui, pohaikawahine
