As of this posting, it's coming up June 21, 2018.
When the day will get as long as it will get this year. At least in the northern hemisphere.
An intriguing spot to observe the solstice is in England.
Stonehenge
Many gather there for various reasons to observe and experience the turning point of the seasons. For the Solstice can not only be reduced to a scientific fact. But also one of myth and lore and wonder.
The video below relives the longest day of the year at Stonehenge with sunset on 20 June and sunrise on 21 June, 2017.
For many, the Solstice is a mystical, spiritual, even religious experience.
And in that vein of thought, let's go back to the revelation of the origin of the seasons:
And God said,
Let there be lights
in the firmament of the heaven
to divide
the day from the night;
and let them be
for signs,
And let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth:
And God made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night:
And God set them
in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth,
and to divide the light
from the darkness:
and God saw that it was good.
And for a Summer Solstice that is really out of this world, check out the view from the International Space Station:
And God saw
every thing
that He had made,
and, behold,
it was very good.
Genesis 1:31 (KVJ)
So marks the changing of the seasons.
Have a blessed summer!
