harvest festival is an annual celebration which occurs around the time of the main harvest of a given region. Given the differences in climate and crops around the world, harvest festivals can be found at various times throughout the world. Harvests festivals typically feature feasting, both family and public, with foods that are drawn from crops that come to maturity around the time of the festival. Ample food and freedom from the necessity to work in the fields are two central features of harvest festivals: eating, merriment, contests, music and romance are common features of harvest festivals around the world. In Asia, the Chinese Moon Festival (中秋節) is one of the most widely-spread harvest festivals in the world. In India, Pongal in January, Holi in February-March and Onam in August-September are a few famous harvest festivals. In North America, Canada and the US each have their own Thanksgiving celebrations in October and November. Numerous religious holidays, such as Sukkot, have their roots in harvest festivals.
In Britain, thanks have been given for successful harvests since pagan times. The celebrations on this day usually include singing hymns, praying, and decorating churches with baskets of fruit and food in the festival known as Harvest Festival, Harvest Home or Harvest Thanksgiving.
In British churches, chapels and schools and in Canadian churches, people bring in food from the garden, the allotment or farm. The food is often distributed among the poor and senior citizens of the local community, or used to raise funds for the church, or charity.
In the USA, many churches also bring in food from the garden or farm in order to celebrate the harvest. The festival is set for a specific day and has become a national holiday known as Thanksgiving which falls on the fourth Thursday in November. In both Canada and the USA it has also become a national secular holiday with religious origins, but in Britain it is both a Church festival giving thanks to God for the harvest, and a more secular festival remembered in schools.
BGSU Fun Facts
Gilbert Fox '48 left BGSU more than 50 years ago. When he did he left a legacy to campus spirit that exists to this day.
It was Fox who brought Bowling Green State University its unique, albeit unofficial, fight song and he was also an original member of SIC SIC, the secret organization that promotes school spirit.
Fox says it was a fluke that brought him to BGSU. The native of Westchester County, New York, was leaving the service in October of 1944 after serving as a bombardier with the Air Force in Italy. Wanting to get on with his life and enroll in college, Fox was told by his discharge officer that BGSU was the only university in the country that had not started its fall term. He quickly enrolled as a music education major and was soon immersed in campus life.
In 1946 he was asked to perform at a special spirit assembly called by University President Frank Prout. Fox brought along a song he had learned in Italy from a group of South African Airmen. The tune, which was a loose translation of a Zulu war chant, was ?Ay Ziggy Zoomba?. "Those airmen were great singers of all kinds of songs and they taught me ?Ziggy Zoomba,? Fox said. He rewrote the words and taught them to a quartet of students who sang it at a school assembly. The students loved it.
The song quickly caught on and over the years it slowly worked its way into a permanent place in BGSU spirit. The song is now heard very often at BGSU athletic events and alumni gatherings ? it was even sung in the 1968 movie Paper Lion in which former All-American and Detroit Lion All-Pro defensive back Mike Weger ?67 sang it as part of his rookie initiation at training camp.
