Marked by a wooden cross adorned with white cloth and flowers embodying the deity Lono, members of a ceremonial procession walk off the beach during a Makahiki festival at Bellows Air Force Station in Waimanalo, Hawaii, Nov. 20. Lasting from October until February, the Makahiki season honors the Hawaiian god Lono, the guardian of peace and health, as he arrives for the transition from Ku, a time of war, politics and construction, to Lono, a time of relaxation and celebration of life.
