Chuesok is the Korean Harvest Moon festival. This holiday is scheduled on the lunar calendar so it will fall on a different day each year. In particular Cheusok is the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar; however, the day on either side is also celebrated. It is supposed to be a lot like the U.S. Thanksgiving, but with gifts and special games.

Someone sent me some great sites if you are interested about learning more.

You have to check out this link for the pictures. It looks absolutely beautiful, but way over my head. I don’t even like opening up the microwave and putting in a frozen dinner. The thought of preparing something like the Ritual Table is a little scary.

I enjoyed watching this one just for general enjoyment, but if you watch up through the first 3 minutes and 30 seconds, you can see a traditional ritual ceremony.

I hope you enjoy the information. I had some trouble finding a lot of information on-line. You can find information, but I was looking for some information that I would feel okay using in a term paper – solid academics and I fell a little short.
