It was time to celebrate Michaelmas again. It is celebrated on September 29 each year, and the meaning of this celebration for Archangel Michael is associated with the shortening of the days. It is believed that Archangel Michael fought against Satan and his evil angels; thus, we celebrate his protection against the darkest months (Autumn and Winter).
The food is very simple. It's kind of a Thanksgiving meal. In fact, it is believed that this celebration was associated with Thanksgiving meals in Ireland after the last harvest.

I didn't know about Michaelmas at all...really fascinating. And those mini tarts with zucchini look excellent.
ReplyDeleteThis is the time of year when everyone has surplus zucchini! I have no doubt that any day now we will be making zucchini bread!
