Title: Happy Solstice!
Post by: Jubal on June 21, 2017, 02:09:03 PM
Happy solstice, everyone :)

I thought I'd make a thread about this partly as wondering out loud if anyone here marks/is interested in the solstice as a celebration. I guess the solstices and equinoxes have always appealed to me as festivals given that they have some fundamental underpinning rather than being essentially arbitrary/based on commemorating an unconfirmed and unconfirmable date as most major dated festivals are.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Not really. I like the idea of it being celebrated though

I'd usually do a midsummers thing back in the old country but don't think anyone does it up here.

This leads me to realise that I have no idea at all which celebrations are big/important in Austria...
