A traditional table set for Chuseok
A celebration of Chuseok in Korea, as featured in the Korea Times (love that newspaper)
Korean flag with the U.S. flag. taken on our trip to Korea
Chuseok, originally known as Hangawee (한가위) (from archaic Korean for "great middle"), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Like many other harvest festivals, notably the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival[1], it is held around the Autumn Equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food.
We will be officially celebrating Chuseok toward the end of this month when we go visit with Jee's foster mother who is visiting the U.S. later this month!!! How wonderful is that? She is an amazing, precious woman who I didn't think we would see again until we someday return to Korea. She holds a very special place in our hearts. We are so blessed to have this opportunity.
