Kekri (festival)
Kekri, also known as ''Keyri'', ''Köyri'', ''Köyry'' (in Torne Valley) ''Kööri'' and ''Kegri'' (in Karelian), is a Finnish and Karelian harvest festival, celebrated in the fall. Kekri was once widely celebrated in Finland and Karelia, but it has been largely eclipsed by Christmas, to which many old Kekri traditions have migrated. Historically, Kekri has also referred to a deity. Originally, the celebration of Kekri was not tied to a permanent calendar date, but – instead – was determined by the ongoing year's agricultural autumn activities. However, by the early 1800s it came to coincide with All Saints' Day in Western Finland and Michaelmas in Eastern Finland.Kekri Finnish national museum. (in Finnish) Etymology In various |
