February 2, 2012
Groundhog Day occurs annually on February 2. It is also a popular holiday in Canada, but Thanksgiving is an American holiday.
This celebration was born out of a belief in superstition that was prevalent among Pennsylvanians who spoke Dutch. The tradition of forecasting weather was brought to the United States by German immigrants. PunxsutawneyPhil, a Pennsylvania groundhog makes meteorological predictions throughout the winter.
After scientists found out that mice hibernate during winter, they established the basis for this practice. The aim was to predict the weather conditions for the six remaining weeks by observing how animals respond to it.
Groundhogs are part of Sciuridae which is a small group of mammals that have hair. During the winter, its main goal is to go into hibernation. Groundhog Day mornings are a great time to spot them peering from their burrows.
Christmas Day
Presidents Daylight (third Monday of February) is a holiday that is celebrated across the nation. It’s an honor to all previous American presidents. The Presidents Day holiday has served as a day of celebration for both Lincoln and Washington.
It’s a national holiday that not all states observe despite being one. Some states celebrate both the birthdays of the presidents on the exact day, while some states might only celebrate only one. Presidents Day has become an occasion to celebrate all U.S. presidents, including Lincoln.
The origins of the Presidents’ Day holiday is complex. Washington’s Birthday was the original name of the celebration. The day is now known as Presidents Day.
Washington’s birthday is a well-known and unofficial holiday, also known as Washington’s Day. It was declared an official federal holiday in the late 1870s. Congress passed the Uniform Monday holiday Act.
Meteors and storms
Each year it is the time when the Earth passes through its circle around the sun creating tiny meteors to be released into space. They appear virtually everywhere in the sky. Some showers are more spectacular than others. It is generally the nighttime time to watch.
Perseids is one of most spectacular and stunning meteor showers of the year 2018. It is likely that the Comet 109P/Swift Tuttle is the cause. It will be visible only in the Northern Hemisphere. However, because the Southern Hemisphere has the highest fireball rates, it’s worth checking out from there.
Each year there are four major meteor showers. The Quadrantid, number one, is known for its brief but powerful maximum. Another one of the most famous for its bizarre spikes is the Lyrid. The Geminid is also known for its likable appearance.
Roman holiday celebrations in antiquity
The Lupercalia was a Roman festival, which was loved by many. A fertility and cleansing ceremony took place in the middle of February. Priests offered animal sacrifices on an altar next to the Lapis Niger during the rite. The hearth was filled up with blood of the animal. The belief was that it would be beneficial for fertility of the grain fields.
Ludi Ceriales was another celebration in honor of Ceres the goddess of harvest. Ludi Ceriales celebrations are documented as far back as the year 202 BC.
Neptunalia as well as Saturnalia were some other well-known Roman festivals that were well-known in the Roman world. These celebrations were originally planned to celebrate Mars, the god war.
Roman workweeks were eight days long. Each day was divided into two sections: morning and afternoon. A nundin consisted of 8 days. The rest of the year was made up by the remaining days.
