Mid Autum Festival 2023






Today is the lunar calendar Mid Autumn Festival.  It's one of the major festivals in Asia, analogous to the Thanksgiving in the US.   It's the fall harvest time and families celebrate together by feasting on good food.   This festival is sometimes referred to as the Harvest Moon Festival or Autumn Moon Festival.   It is the only Asian festival that involves a rabbit!   See:

The image of beautiful Churn-O carrying the Jade Rabbit is used in many mediums.




These are the moon cakes associated with the Mid Autumn Festival.
