In India, there is similar tradition known as 'Pitra Maasa', meaning ancestor fortnight. During these days people perform ritual to offer food to their ancestors.

That's kind of cool that it's 3 days and is on a full moon. In the US Thanksgiving can be kind of boring as you get older and the following day is hyped up Christmas shopping. I guess we can get Thursday, Friday and the weekend off though. Does 추석 still feel special as you get older, or does it feel more like an obligation I wonder? Holidays in my family have lost their appeal as we grew older, and I still don't have the family I'll create one day to celebrate with.

Wowwwww

Happy Chuseok Day to all koreans celebrating

Our holiday is Eid💖 thank you so much for you video🤗 this is Korean holiday💖

*Hi Everyone How are you* *Have a Beautiful Happy Nice Days* *HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY* *HAPPY CHUSEOK DAY* *HAVE A GOOD GREAT HAPPY CHUSEOK* *And* *Okay Bye Take Care See You* *To All*

2:09 Haha ARMY, how are u feeling??💜

In 2022, Chuseok will be on 10th Sept, the same date of beginning of Pitru Paksha ( 15 days Lunar wanning phase) in India. While in Korean Chuseok is for 1 day (holiday for 3 days), in India it a period of 15days from the Full moon to New Moon. Chuseok is celebrated on the Full Moon, Pitru Paksha begins on Full moon and lasts 15 days period of waning of moon, it signifies that life is fleeting and quick reminder to everyone of an impending death, for death is inevitable. It is create a humbling experience for everyone and hence marked with pay homage/ remembrance of death / ancestors. One of the most striking similarity between Chuseok meal and Shraddha bhog/ offering for the ancestors in India is- RICE. In Korea, they are called Songpyeon, while in India the rice balls seasoned with clarified butter (Ghee) with black sesame seeds - called Pinda are the main offerings. One major difference is- Koreans treat Chuseok as celebration and period of festivities. In India, it is consider remembrance of ancestors and contemplating on death, the ultimate end. It is also inauspicious period and no new beginning happen during this 15 day period, so no traditional Hindu weddings, no baby showers, no starting new business or ventures. Also, unlike in Korean, in India Pitru Paksha/ Shradda feast is not advertised or promoted, it is a very private family affair marked by presence of immediate family and relatives. People typically do not discuss or talk about Shradda feast with friends, colleagues, business associates or classmates. *When I say Indians, I mean Hindus Indian here.

The representative food (rice cakes) for both the festivals are alike. Only the names differ. While Koreans prepare ‘Songpyeon’ (moon-shaped rice cake filled with stuffing), people in India make ‘Pithas’ (rice cakes with sesame seeds and other fillings). The harvest holiday period in Korea is made joyful through entertainment and games such as samulnori (traditional percussion quartet), and ganggangsullae (traditional Korean circle dance). Similarly, during the Bihu celebrations in India, women dance in circles to celebrate the abundant harvest in a performance called ‘Mukoli Bihu’. 👍👍👍

“While watching a Korean show that introduced Chuseok traditions, I was taken aback to see how similar Chuseok is to our Indian festival ‘Bihu’. Though it is not much of a shock to find cultural similarities between Korea and some parts of India, as Assam (a state in Northeast India). “Just like Chuseok is a celebration of the autumn harvest in Korea, ‘Rongali Bihu in India is also celebrated to enjoy a good harvest season. To my surprise, the traditions performed and foods shared during both festivals also have a lot in common".

My little sister's birthday is on September 21st. Autumn starts around this time, too.

The Indian ‘Mukoli Bihu’ dance is similar to Korea’s ganggangsullae wherein women dance in circles to celebrate a good harvest. People in both countries share fresh harvest and gifts with loved ones, and visit their ancestors to seek their blessings during these festivals. Both Korea and India preserve their rich and vibrant cultural values and traditions to date. “We might be afar, but we are culturally not that different after all". Am I right?, korean Unni...

Yeah, we have something similar in the USA. It's called THANKSGIVING, celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November! We usually have a family gathering with turkey and all kinds of fruit & vegetable dishes & desserts. If your immediate family lives across the country like mine, then you find your closest relatives and/or friends who are like family and celebrate with them. We don't worship our ancestors, but we do remember & honor them by talking about them. Some of us also share things that we're thankful for, such as our families and/or friends, good health, homes, plenty of food, jobs, free country, etc. This holiday is based on the Pilgrims that came over on the Mayflower to escape religious & political tyranny. They established a colony based on tenets that perpetuated freedoms that Americans still have today. These people would've totally died off had it not been for a kind-hearted Native American named Squanto. All these things used to be taught in school, but not much anymore. I think most of us have forgotten our roots, and in turn, have forgotten to teach our children why we became a country. On a side note, Canada has a similar holiday, but celebrates on the 2nd Monday of October. This day is to celebrate the harvest & other blessings from the past year.

I love Korea!!!

No thanksgiving in UK

Happy Chinese mid autumn festival to all of our friends worldwide 🇨🇳🎑 祝大家中秋节快乐🎑

Jeon Jungkook, Jungkook Jeon

It has similarities to American Thanksgiving where you spend time with family and celebrate the bountiful amount of food from the harvest, but that's about it. In the US we don't really have a holiday where we venerate those that have passed before.

we have a day in christianity as all souls day for the ancestral souls to go to heaven. but still, i don't know much bout the significance of that prayer service at church , we normally have schools on that day so mostly students don't get to go to church

Thanks for worshipping a Chinese man Confucius as your God, master, teacher. He taught Korea how to be a civilized country.
