How do Christians celebrate harvest festival?

Answer 1

Originally there was a harvest festival for the farmers and also a Thanksgiving day for the blessings from God for his provisions. Later the pagans and other people came up with Halloween....which is the eve of All Saints Day on November 1st. So Christians celebrate the harvest festival (Jews have a harvest feast too) and they avoid the commercialism, satanism, and the warlock and witch stuff of Halloween. The Catholics celebrate All Saints day too.

Answer 2

Being students of The Bible and generally a religious sort, they recognized that the

race is not necessarily always won by the swift, nor the fight by the strong. As a

primitive, unsophisticated culture, they were powerless to prevent concepts such as

resignation to bad luck and gratitude for good fortune from creeping into their

thinking. Children were taught, and adults continued the practice, of expressing

thankfulness for good health, sustenance, food, success, and survival in general,

as if these were more than simply human entitlements, and something instead

for which to be grateful toward something outside of oneself. The fact that you

now ask the reason for it shows how primitive and naive those attitudes were.

We should all feel lucky ... oops, there it is again ... that we've been able to shake off

these troublesome instincts, and not let them slow us down in the modern world.

Answer 3

Probably out of gratitude to their God or gods for providing harvest, also in hopes that by showing appreciation their deity(ies) would do it again next time, much like saying grace at the dinner table to thank one's deity for the food and one's blessings, just on a larger scale.

Answer 4

Imagine you've spent the year eating last year's harvest, while you worked hard to plant, weed and water this year's crop. Then, just as last year's harvest is almost entirely consumed, you go out in the fields for the back breaking labor of bringing in the crops and storing them. When you finish, your hard work is done for the season, and you see that you have enough to get through another year, it seems only natural to celebrate.
