Joy Of Celebrating Harvest Festival

"Harvest Festival brings together family fun, folk music, local products and yummy food in one place"

Harvest is the time of year when ripened crops are gathered from the fields. Harvesting season falls at different times of the year, which depends on climate, region and crop. In a majority of Southern Hemisphere, harvesting occurs in February to April, while in Northern Hemisphere, it occurs in the months of August and October.

Harvest Festival reminds the people of all the good things God has given to them. They are thankful to almighty for a bountiful harvest and prays to the god for recurrence of the process. They share the food with other who are poor and not so fortunate. At some places, people bring food to a Harvest Festival Service, which is held at Churches. Then these food parcels are distributed among the people in need.
