Poisoned Blackberries Day is an anniversary marking the conquest of good over evil. According to medieval lore, blackberries symbolize lawyers and justice. But why poisoned, and does it have anything to do with lawyers?
September 29 in the Gregorian Calendar is Michaelmas. During the Middle Ages, Christians celebrated with a feast with roast goose to commemorate the victory of archangel Michael over Lucifer.
In the Bible, the archangel Michael battled against the devil in heaven and won. Poisoned Blackberry day marks the anniversary of the day God threw Satan out of heaven, and he landed on a thorny blackberry bush. Furious, Satan spits on the blackberries, poisoning the entire crop for a day. Spoiling the fruit was a bit of a problem. Michaelmas was the "due date" for the completion of the harvest and marked the end of the third quarter in the Christian calendar. Additional quarter-end dates include Lady Day (March 25), Midsummer (June 24), and Christmas (December 25).
Michael, representing God's good, battled the devil and won, delivering justice over his evil deeds. Civically, there is an additional tie to the legal profession. Michaelmas marks the commencement of legal and university terms, and it signaled the election of public servants to the office and a time for hiring.
