  • Jewish: Kiddush Levana, the blessing of the new Moon, is said at night while the Moon is visible, in the first half of the month.
  • Chinese, Korean and Japanese: the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chuseok and Tsukimi celebrate the full Moon of the eighth lunar month, and the Lantern Festival the year's first full Moon.
