St Andrew´s Church´s Harvest Festival Service will be held this coming Sunday, 5th October at 10am. Everyone is welcome to this traditional service of thanksgiving for all God’s gifts to us.
Harvest is from the Anglo-Saxon word hærfest, “Autumn”. It has come to refer to the season for reaping and gathering grain and other grown products. The full moon nearest the autumnal equinox is called the Harvest Moon. So in ancient traditions Harvest Festivals were traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon.
Harvest Festivals in North Cyprus
As a place where agriculture is an important part of the economy and community, North Cyprus boasts numerous festivals and events throughout the year to celebrate each harvest. If you are on holiday in North Cyprus whilst there is a festival happening, you’ll want to add it to your ‘must do’ list.
All of the festivals are great fun and include traditional dance shows, live music acts, market stalls, opportunities to learn how to make traditional handicrafts, soaps and of course the chance to enjoy traditional Turkish-Cypriot hospitality with plenty of local food and drink.
