Ever Heard of Candlemas?

Ever heard of Candlemas??? I haven't until today, which is Candlemas.

"According to an old bit of Sussex folklore: “If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, Winter will have another flight; But if it be dark with clouds and rain, Winter is gone, and will not come again." This is a much older and really, a more beautiful tradition than our current Groundhog ritual which has, in any case, all but supplanted Candlemas on this day. A real pity, don't you think?"

To read more about what Candlemas is all about check out the rest of Dr. Grant's blog today.
