Mid Autumn Festival 2021

Google Dooles 20.09.2021 23:30  Date: September 21, 2021 As the harvest moon rises into the early autumn night sky, thousands gaze into the heavens above—which can only mean one thing—it’s time for the Mid Autumn Festival! Today’s Doodle celebrates this annual holiday, also known as the Moon Festival. The unusually bright moonlight from the harvest moon in tandem with the seasonally crisp autumn air provides the ideal ambiance for families to celebrate and feast! As parents peel pomelos, a large cousin to the grapefruit, children take the skins and repurpose them for goofy hats. No Moon Festival is complete without a hearty serving of mooncakes, round treats that symbolize the moon and are traditionally stuffed with egg yolk, mung beans, and yams. These old-fashioned mooncakes aren’t the holiday’s only symbolic sweet treat—from chocolate-filled mooncakes to other non-traditional variations, this staple confection serves to remind celebrants of reunion as they honor their familial ties. Happy Mid Autumn Festival! Location: , Tags: , , , , ,
