There’s a full moon on Monday, September 12. That is also the date of the Chinese Moon Festival – sometimes called the Lantern Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival. It always takes place at the full moon on the 15th day of the eighth Chinese lunar month.
The Moon Festival dates back more than 3,000 years, to a time when the Chinese believed that the moon was the home of a beautiful goddess. The moon was also associated with femininity and with fairies.
