Michaelmas, the feast of St. Michael and All Angels, was one of the most important festivals in the medieval English calendar. Falling on the 29th of September, it marked both a religious commemoration and a turning point in the agricultural and social year. In medieval England, Michaelmas was more than a liturgical observance; it was deeply embedded in the rhythms of farming life, local economy, and community traditions. #wdlm #history #tradition #livinghistory #traditional #experiencehistory #
