Happy Chuseok to all our Korean friends!

October 1, 2012

One of the most popular holidays in Korea is Chuseok (추석), the Korean equivalent of our Thanksgiving. This Korean holiday usually lasts for three days – the day before, the day of, and the day after. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar.

Chuseok this year is from September 30th through October 2nd.

Chuseok was originally knows as Hangawi, which is the old word for "the great middle (of autumn). Like similar harvest celebrations, the holiday is held around the Autumn equinox.

During this festival Koreans travel to their hometowns to pay respects to their ancestors. They perform ancestral worship rituals, visit the tombs of their immediate ancestors to trim plants and clean the area around the tomb, and offer food, drink, and crops to their ancestors. Harvest crops are attributed to the blessing of ancestors.
