All around the world there are
many culture. Depends on that, every culture also have their own tradition to
celebrate something happened in their place. Most common celebration that they
held is harvest party. Every country around the world also have their own harvest
goods. It’s interesting enough to know them. Because of that today I’ll show
you some tradition people do to face the harvest time. American have
Thanksgiving. In this day people slaught turkeys to celebrate the overflow of
turkeys. After that, they eat it with their famiy and colleagues. Differ with
America, people in London celebrate the harvest festival by made shining
mascot, called “the Pearly”. This idea was discover by road sellers who decorated their pants with
scattered pearly button on the road. In order to celebrate sugar harvest,
people in Barbados, Karibia held The Crop Over Festival in July. It’s funny
beacause they still held this tradition even though Brazil has taken their
first place as the biggest sugar producer. As the one of the most rice producer
in the world, we absolutely have local traditions to celebrate the harvest time..
Javanese people have the special ceremony called Sekaten. They made gift called
Gunungan that contains many kinds of food, rice, fruit, and vegetable. They do
that in order to show their respect to “Sri Goddess”. For more information please go to this website : www.harvestfestivals.net
