Vi Gillar Maskar!

What does the word 'Mask' mean, you ask? Well, it is commonly used as the word for something you wear on your face. A mask, or face-mask.

Here are some examples of the use of mask in other languages. In Afrikaans: masking, Russian: masks, Danish: mash, Estonian: visor, Filipino: musk (another word for moss) Hindi: face guard, Japanese: or sk, Chinese: mosaics, Croatian: masks, Shona: chachimasko (judging by this website [ohforonevo.es.tl] it seems to hold some kind of religous meaning), Slovenian: masks, Tamil: macak ( a breed of monkeys [en.m.wikipedia.org]), Xhosa: masks, and most notably of them all, the Swedish word for worm.

But to us, Mask holds an even greater meaning. Not only does it translate to 'worm'. It goes beyond that. Mask means, and brings, love, happiness, and joy. Mask acompanies us on our loneliest days. Brings peace to our bloodiest conflicts. Grants us light and wormth in our darkest moments. For as long as the anthem is sung, to thou, blessings shall come.
