Chuseok, Korean Thanksgiving Day, is one of the biggest and most important holidays in Korea.

It is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. As Chuseok is a day set to celebrate a bountiful harvest, it is often referred to as Korean Thanksgiving Day.

Many Koreans visit their hometowns to spend quality time with their family. Family members gather from all over the country for memorial rituals, called charye, at the graves of their ancestors.
