Today is the Summer Solstice<\/strong><\/a>, the First Day of Summer and the longest day of the year – when the Earth’s axial tilt is most inclined to the sun, and which therefore means we get the most daylight. This is an important day in religions<\/a> <\/strong>around the world.<\/p>\n

The Druids celebrated the Solstice as Alban Herun or “Light of the Shore”; it was celebrated under different names by pagan cultures throughout Europe. Under Christianity, Europe celebrated the Solstice as the Feast of St. John the Baptist. Neopagan<\/a> <\/strong>groups regularly celebrate the Solstice, holding a “sabbat” in its honor called Midsummer or “Litha.”<\/p>\n

Almost every world culture celebrates the Solstice in some way or another, honoring the sun at its high point. What are you doing to celebrate today?<\/p>\n
