Groundhog Day is observed annually on February 2. Groundhog Day is celebrated each year in Canada on February 2.
The belief in the superstition of Pennsylvanians Dutch people gave rise to the festival. However, Americans gained the tradition of making weather predictions through German immigrants. PunxsutawneyPhil, a Pennsylvania groundhog makes forecasts for meteorological conditions throughout the winter.
The custom got its start after scientists discovered a mouse that hibernated in the winter. The goal was to forecast the weather for the six remaining weeks by observing how animals respond to it.
The Sciuridae family of tiny hairy mammals includes groundhogs. It hibernates in winter. Groundhog Day mornings are a perfect time to see them peering from their burrows.
Christmas Day

Storms of meteors

Roman holidays from antiquity
The Lupercalia holiday was very loved in ancient Rome. In the middle of February, a fertility and cleansing ceremony was celebrated. Priests offered sacrifices to animals at an altar next to the Lapis Niger during the ritual. The hearth was cleansed with the blood of the animal. It was believed that the hearth could provide fertility and protection for the grain fields.
Ludi Ceriales was another celebration to celebrate Ceres (the goddess of the harvest). Ludi Ceriales celebrations can be traced back to 202 BC.
Neptunalia, Saturnalia, Vestalia were just a few examples of the most well-known Roman celebrations. These celebrations were originally meant to pay tribute to Mars the god of war.
