===Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere===
*[[Rosh Hashanah]] ([[Hebrew]] for 'head of the year') is a Jewish, two day holiday, commemorating the culmination of the [[Genesis creation myth|seven days of Creation]], and marking God's yearly renewal of His world. The day has elements of festivity and introspection, as God is traditionally believed to be assessing His creation and determining the fate of all men and creatures for the coming year. In Jewish tradition, honey is used to symbolize a sweet new year. At the traditional meal for that holiday, apple slices are dipped in honey and eaten with blessings recited for a good, sweet new year. Some Rosh Hashanah greetings show honey and an apple, symbolizing the feast. In some congregations, small straws of honey are given out to usher in the new year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/112530|title=Rosh Hashanah: Prayers, Shofars, Apples, Honey and Pomegranates|last=Ben|first=Tzvi|date=22 September 2006|publisher=Israelnationalnews.com|access-date=13 November 2011|archive-date=27 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111127165040/http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/112530|url-status=live}}</ref>
