Harvest Holiday (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary)
       - -  Harvest Holiday is celebrated at the end of the summer.  Land owners would throw a big party for their workers because of their hard work during the year.  The workers made a special wreath and gave it to the landowner.
            The end of the harvest and the making of the wreath fell around the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin.  Because they were at the same time, they took the wreath to the church to be blessed.
