What is harvest?
Harvest is the time of year when crops planted in spring are ready to be collected. Long ago, a good harvest meant there would be enough food for the long winter months. The whole community would work together to harvest the crops and celebrate. With no supermarkets, the harvest was the only source(来源) of food so a good harvest was for everyone to celebrate.
When is harvest?
Harvest season in the UK begins at the end of August or the start of September. In years gone by, there was an ancient festival called Lammas to celebrate the beginning of harvest. But it has always been the end that sees the most exciting moment of the harvest.
In the past, the harvest would not end until the last sheaf(捆) of the crop arrived at the village and there was often a great parade to welcome it.
In more modern times, the celebrations of the harvesting fall on the Harvest Festival, which is on the Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon. They include Saint Michael's Mass on 29th September.

In the past, the arrival of the last crop meant the beginning of the Harvest Supper. A big meal of meats, vegetables, fruits and puddings would be shared by the community. Everyone, old or young, rich or poor, joined in with singing, dancing and games.
In more recent years, the Harvest Festival has been mainly celebrated by schools and other places. In some schools, children are often asked to bring food to be shared out to those who need it in the local community. Decorations of fruits and grains can be found in the town hall and there are songs that give thanks for the harvest.
