In churches around the country, Harvest Festivals are being held. It is a time to give thanks for the food we have and to think about people who are not as lucky as we are.
In Britain, thanks have been given for successful harvests since pagan times. Harvest festival is traditionally held on the Sunday near or of the Harvest Moon. This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox (about Sept. 23). In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. The celebrations on this day usually include singing hymns, praying, and decorating churches with baskets of fruit and food in the festival known as Harvest Festival, Harvest Home or Harvest Thanksgiving.
Year one are finding out about Harvest as part of their R.E studies. They are learning a song which they may perform to the rest of the school during hymn practice.
You can sing along with them!
