Mid-Autumn Festival is a literal translation from Chinese. Culturally, the Chinese would celebrate it on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Lunar Calendar. It can also be called Mooncake festival or Lantern festival. Up to this day, we can see significant food emerging that upholds our cultural festivity. Yes, the mooncake! I seriously want to learn how to make it. And like most people, I probably won't follow tradition and make it at some other time of the year hehe.
Yesterday at church, the Mandarin Ministry we had a few performances during the day on this special occassion. We had a couple of fan dances, Chinese singing and Poetry Reading. After that we had a major feed!
The moon is at its fullest and brightest tonight! Don't forget to go outside and take a look :)
