Miķeļi
Miķeļi ((:miceʎi)) or Miķeļdiena is a Latvian autumn equinox and annual removal of fertile parts celebration. Latvian Miķeļi dainas referred to good and rich husbands as bread fathers, who are associated with the autumn harvest ripening. In different regions, the Miķeļi celebration was also called Mīkaļiem or Mīklāli, but it is also known to other households as Sila Miķelis, Miega Miķelis, and Miega Mača. According to an old calendar, this holiday is celebrated around autumn solstice time (around 21–23 September), when the duration of night is same as the duration of day.
The Latvian name of this holiday is Apjumības or Appļāvības,〔(Apjumibas ) 〕 because on this day the cereals were mowed for the last time. A characteristic Miķeļdiena pagan ritual was catching Jumis, through which farmers sought to ensure the fertility of the fields in the coming year. The Miķeļi's house was considered to be pine forest's sandy soils, since he expressed his protection to gatherers of forest's riches.〔(Miķeļi, Apjumības and God Day ) 〕
==Title==
Miķeļdiena name is derived from a name of a honorable Christian archangel Michael, whose day is celebrated during the autumn solstice time. In Latvian mythology, it gradually replaced a time to celebrate the autumn solstice of Apjumības or Appļāvības, which was the last harvest day, which with the help of magic rituals sought to ensure the success next year and to obtain the favor of Jumis.
