Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community will be celebrating this weekend? Today there are two major harvest holidays that people will be celebrating:the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, East and South-East Asia, and Chuseok in Korea. Tonight also begins the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The Mid-Autumn Festival, or Moon Festival, is a family-centered holiday celebrating togetherness and a good harvest. Moon cakes are foods often eaten at this festival. Chuseok is the Harvest Festival that also honors and celebrates deceased ancestors.Sukkot is the week-long Harvest Festival that celebrates the gathering of the harvest. It also commemorates the protection provided for the children of Israel when they left Egypt. There are students and their families at WMS who will be observing one of these holidays. We wish all people at WMS observing these holidays, a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, happy Chuseok, and happy Sukkot.
Have a good day everyone!
