Autumn Rarities and Reflections contest entry
The Autumn Moon Festival in China is second only to their New Year's celebration. The roundness of the full moon signifies a time of reunion of loved ones. It is also a good time for matchmaking. The holiday is celebrated with family gatherings where moon cakes are eaten, often by a lake or on a mountain top. And it ends with the release of lanterns carrying prayers and messages to loved ones.
