WS Day stands for "We Survived". It's a tribute to all those who lost their lives in the 'Year of Horror' and it is celebrated annually on the day of the earthquake: March 7. In this celebration of life, everybody wears red, to represent the Red Death that was also a big part of our global loss. We take to the streets and people place flowers out for their loved ones. At noon, the Prime Minister will make a speech and at 1 o'clock in the afternoon it turns into a big celebration. Music is played and snacks are served and there is a parade to showcase local talents. By the end of the night everybody has been through a whirlwind of emotions from happy to sad and everything in between. At midnight there is a fireworks show.
