September 23 is Autumn Equinox. This is the time of the completion of the harvest started at Lughnasa. Day and night are equal once more. It is time for nature to rest and prepare for winter. Traditionally, plants were gathered for medicinal purposes and homes and churches decorated with leaves, corn and pine cones.
