Summer solstice, which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere in June, has been observed and celebrated for millennia in many cultures. People have long noticed this important day on the wheel of the year when the Sun is at its most northern position in the sky, giving us the longest day and the shortest night, which we call the first day of summer. Why not take this opportunity to research some of the ways in which people celebrate this day? Are there particular traditions? Stories? Festivities? Can you discover more about the place in which you live by researching, and learning to say, words for the seasons and for the sun, moon and sky in the Indigenous languages of the land? Visit the website First Voices for some ideas. |
