    How are you doing mr Greg . Thank you for your wonderful cultural channel. Iam Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American RUclips channels. We are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well. I hope all people understand importance of internet as educational tool not amusement only. I gathered main information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s Michaelmas definition is feast of Michael and all angles is celebrated on 29 th of September every year . As falls near equinox, this day associated with beginning of autumn in England known as ( quarter day) . It’s was originally celebrated as holy day of obligation but that requirement was gradually abolished. During Middle Ages Michaelmas was great religious feast and many popular traditions grew up around day which include harvest in Western Europe. In Uk that day local tradition holds that eating goose on 29 th of September will bring prosperity. Good luck connection comes from Queen Elizabeth 1 , who said to be eating goose on Michaelmas in 1855 when she received news that her Royal Navy defeated Spanish Armada.

    Last part of my research that day for kids represents harvest time , when people make preparations for winter . Waldorf school called festival of courage , it’s first festival of new school year . Harvest themes such apple cider , fresh baked bread , pumpkin muffin as well as games . There are types of Michaelmas flowers such as daisies aster amellus ,autumn aster , lady in blue . Michaelmas have several known names such As goose day , quarter day , labourers for hire . Every yeaR after Michaelmas agriculture labourers present themselves with tools near market town mop fair . Signaled beginning of Michaelmas Term at Oxford and Cambridge universities. Old Michaelmas is on 10 of October. There are saying eat goose on Michaelmas want not for Monday all year . There are Michaelmas superstitions such as devil kicked out of heaven feast day unlucky to gather blackberries after this date . Breast bones of goose . Curse fruit, picking plants . Goose of brown after roasting winter should mild and if bones Are white have blue hue winter would be severe . Ireland and north England eat goose would have good luck for rest of year . Ireland finding ring hidden in Michaelmas pie means person will be married soon. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well.

      Thank you, @Khatoon170! Itms interesting that the color of the goose bones predicts whether winter will be mild or severe.
