Weekend Impressions: … A Moment of Silence
Meron Abraha , Jun 23, 2008 - 11:25am
Martyrs’ Day, one of Eritreans’ more revered days, was like always passionately remembered last Friday, June 20, 2008.
That day my friend and I sat at Modern Café, one of the busiest cafés in downtown Asmara, for a late brunch. We were still chattering when we heard one of the waiters telling the customers to stand up.
It was one o’clock the time where the entire nation would join for a one minute of silence in honor of Eritrea’s fallen heroes. At that moment, the deafening noise in the room came to a halt with everybody standing, bowing their heads, removing their hats and ceasing to speak or move places for the duration. Some had their eyes closed, probably remembering long gone dear ones.

The different activities undertaken by compatriots at home and abroad along with friends in commemoration of this auspicious day through candle lights and organizing commemorative special events and statements represent clear manifestations of the "You Live On!" message.
