The Mid-Autumn festival, also called Moon Festival

The Mid-Autumn festival, also called Moon Festival, takes place on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar (between mid-September to the beginning of October). In 2021, it will be held on September 21st. ⁠
⁠
Mooncakes are a popular part of the celebrations. These small, round, and sweet pastries symbolize the reunion of family. Traditionally, mooncakes are filled with lotus paste and salted egg yolk. But nowadays, they come in various flavors. ⁠
⁠
They are also usually around 800 calories per cake! ⁠
⁠
During the festival, people offer mooncakes to the moon as a sacrifice, gift them to loved ones as a wish for a prosperous life, and eat them as a celebration of a good harvest.⁠

Today marks the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month!⁠
⁠
Every year, since 1968, the United States has recognized the contributions and presence of Hispanic and Latin Americans within US American culture during this time.⁠
⁠
Why does Hispanic Heritage Month begin in the middle of September though?⁠
⁠
It begins on September 15th because this date marks the independence of five countries from Spain in 1821: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. It runs through October 15th to include three more independence days: Mexico (September 16th, 1810 from Spain), Chile (September 18th, 1810 from Spain), and Belize (September 21st, 1981 from the UK).⁠

When is the new year? ⁠
⁠
Is it marked by a birthday? An anniversary? When the school year starts? Is it when the fiscal year begins? Or do you think of January 1st, the first day of the Gregorian calendar, which is the most commonly used calendar in the world? ⁠
⁠
Whether we realize it or not, we all mark several “new years” over the course of 365 days. Within those, we also account for cultural variations. For example, school commonly starts in September in the northern hemisphere. But, school starts in January in the southern one so that summer vacation takes place during warmer months. Or, Islam follows a pure lunar calendar (based on the rotation of the Moon around Earth). But, Chinese culture follows a solilunar calendar (based on both lunar and solar cycles). ⁠
