...or..as otherwise known...Ground Hogs Day.
Throughout history, this day was celebrated as the day to welcome back the sun from the long winter and long nights. It's Celtic origins are similar, as Brigit (the bride) is prepared to meet the bridegroom (the sun).
Although it is Pagan in its origin...aren't all of our holiday celebrations? Just wish I could have had the time to post this yesterday. blessings..aml..k
T'is the time for seasons change
Celebrate its coming
When days grow longer in the sun
The songs of Spring are humming
Give thanks for winters icy grip
And herald out its passing
Time to plant the seeds of life
Good thoughts send out, in casting
Prepare the feast of Brigits Day
With honey cakes and tea
Decorate with sage and husks
And light the candles, three
Prepare upon your table set
For Mother, Maid and Crone
In love, rejoice, are Merry Met
To bless what we have sown
