What festivals are there in Korea?

Although Koreans celebrate the Spring Festival, there are also two legal holidays on New Year's Day in the solar calendar to celebrate the New Year. Generally, on the first morning, family members eat rice cake soup at home, and in the afternoon, they begin to go to their elders' homes to pay New Year greetings or greetings.

The first day to the third day of the first lunar month: Spring Festival.

Like the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Spring Festival is one of the biggest festivals for family reunion in a year. On the morning of the Spring Festival, everyone puts on their best clothes and holds a ceremony to worship their ancestors. After the sacrifice, the younger generation at home pays New Year greetings to their elders and receives lucky money from them. Then the family sits around and eats rice cake soup, which Koreans think will make them one year older. In the afternoon, people visit relatives and pay New Year greetings to relatives and friends. During the Spring Festival, there are many folk activities, such as throwing dice, flying kites, spinning top and seesaw.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month: Lantern Festival

On the first full moon of the lunar calendar every year, farmers and fishermen pray for a bumper harvest and play special games. On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first month, the whole family get together to eat peanuts and walnuts, because they believe it can drive away the heat of the year. Since ancient times, Koreans have thought that the night of the full moon is mysterious, especially on the first full moon of the year. When the moon rises, people will look at the full moon and pray, believing that their wishes can come true, and farmers will also pray for this year's harvest.
