About this listen

Autumn time included multiple festivals in ancient Finland, mostly related with the harvest. Mikonpäivä, Kekri, and other celebrations marked the turning of the year, blending agricultural cycles with spiritual practices. Mikonpäivä (St. Michael’s Day), celebrated around the end of September, became significant during the Christian period but retained older agrarian customs. It marked the end of summer work, the bringing in of cattle from pastures, and the beginning of autumn tasks. In some regions, it was also considered a time for fairs, hiring new workers, and trading goods.
