International
Mermaid Day is observed on March 29.
Tales of mythical sea creatures described as having the head and body of women
and fishtails are present all around the globe. In Africa, they are the
mythical water spirits, Mami Wata, in Eastern Europe, the Rusalki, which are
nymphs of fertility and agriculture. In Ireland, they are called merrows. In
Southeast Asia, Suvannamaccha. The symbol of the mermaids is ever-changing! In
some cultures, they represent life and fertility, while in others, the
destructive nature of water. The day was created in 2018 to mark the premiere
of a new series Siren. Still, it can be celebrated as a continuation of humans'
fascination for the creatures that lie beneath the water...
