Chusok is the 2nd most important holiday in Korea, next to Lunar New Year. It is the celebration of the Fall Harvest. Traditionally, everyone returns to their ancestral homes, pays homage to their ancestors and feasts together. In this modern age, families still honor the centuries-old tradition and gather together despite horrendous traffic restraints. It is delightful to see the beautiful native costumes that some don for the special occasion.
We (the Mission office and Elders) had our own little celebration feast to enjoy and try our hand at making some favorite Korean delicacies.
