​In ancient Finland, there were all kinds of festivities connected to the autumn time. This is mainly because for thousands of years Finland was an agricultural society and many of the customs and deities were connected to the land. This list includes some of these holy days. Many of these holidays have pagan origins but during the Middle Ages when the Catholic church wanted to get rid of the deities, holidays were renamed after Catholic saints. The church wasn´t very consistent in its efforts and many of the pagan customs continued all the way to the 19th century and finally ended at the beginning of the 20th century and the industrial revolution. Some of the holidays like Kekri have made a comeback in recent years.

Beautiful magical autumn. My favourite time of the year. Wonderful design for people who love autumn nature. Grab this design as a birthday gift for your girlfriend, boyfriend, sister, or brother who loves autumn leaves and fall. This design is also great for harvest festivals and thanksgiving. This piece was a commission to a calendar, with a nature theme. I don’t really have much to say about it. Except I am particularly proud of the water reflections. I’ve been painting for two decades and I am finally mastering the art of painting water. I love autumn so this was a fun piece to work with.
