Legend and Origin of Mid Autumn Festival - Worship the Moon

Worship the Moon - It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, a date that parallels the Autumn Equinox of the solar calendar. On this day the moon is unusually bright, clear and round. This is the perfect time to watch and worship of the moon. It is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar, the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year, and is a legal holiday in several countries.
