What do blackberries have to do with Goose Day?

Goose Day is the American version of Michaelmas, a Christian festival observed on September 29. It honors

Archangel Michael for defeating Satan in the war in heaven. It is said that when St. Michael threw the devil

from heaven, he fell from the skies and landed in a prickly blackberry bush. Satan cursed the fruit, scorched

them with his fiery breath, stamped and spat on them, so that they would be unfit for eating. Folklore sug-

gests that Michaelmas Day is the last day to eat blackberries. 6
