모두 만날 수 있는 소중한 기회,
There are many
interesting traditions in Korea, but the first that comes to mind is celebrating 추석.
It’s kind of
similar to Thanksgiving Day in the USA. Except that it’s the day for giving thanks to God,
while Koreans thank their ancestors, the two holidays are quite similar in many
ways. Both of them are in autumn and they are the days to thank for a bountiful harvest. And it’s a time to visit hometowns and gather with families.
On the other hand, there are a lot of unique activities Koreans do during 추석. People perform rituals and visit ancestral graves to pay respects to their ancestors. Also, we play 윷놀이 which is a traditional board game in Korea. We roll wooden sticks called 윷 instead of dice. Last but not least, we make a lot of special food during 추석. The most representative thing is 송편. It’s a rice cake filled with honey and sesame filling.
To sum up, 추석 gives me a precious moment to see all of my relatives and this makes 추석 one of my favorite holidays. Since my extended family all live far
apart, we don’t have many chances to see each other. But we can all meet
during 추석. It was a shame that I wasn’t able to meet my
relatives this 추석 due to COVID-19. I hope this ends
soon and I can see my relatives.
