I am sending you all a warm Hello and wishing that your Mooncake Festival be bright with joy and may good fortune shine on all of you everyday!!
The Mid-Autumn Festival also known as the Moon Festival, is a popular East Asian celebration of abundance and togetherness, dating back over 3000 years to China's Zhou Dynasty. In Malaysia and Singapore, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or "Mooncake Festival".The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th Lunar month of the Chinese Calendar. This is the ideal time, when moon is at its fullest and brightest, to celebrate the abundance of the summer's harvest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.
Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally, on this day, chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat mooncakes with Chinese Tea, as well as lighting of lanterns.
