Mettarë

From Tolkien Gateway
Revision as of 14:48, 18 May 2018 by Murlo (talk | contribs) (Replaced correspondences to modern dates (which was completely wrong for the Elves' New Year) with Shire dates.)

Mettarë, meaning "Last-day", immediately preceded Yestarë and was the last day of the year in the calendars of the Elves and the Dúnedain. In the Calendar of Imladris, Mettarë fell more or less on 5 April of the Shire Calendar. In the Kings' Reckoning and Stewards' Reckoning it corresponded with 1 Yule of the Shire Calendar, around the winter solstice. In the New Reckoning it corresponded with 24 March in the Shire Calendar[1]
