HARVEST HOME (aka INGATHERING) - A typical 18th century scene in Britain celebrating the completion of harvesting in rural communities. Though the timing varies depending on weather patterns etc,, often this takes place in September. It often coincides or was replaced by St. Michael's Mass or Michaelmas when farm servants were hired at the hirings.
