GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS

Summer SolsticeThe summer solstice announces the first day of summer and its arrival happens twice a year—once in the Northern Hemisphere and once in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s known as the June solstice and in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s known as the December solstice. Regardless of which half of the world it’s celebrated, however, it occurs when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky and the day has the longest period of daylightIn the Arctic Circle, a person can expect continuous daylight around the summer solstice. The summer solstice occurs around June 20th through June 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere and between December 20th and December 23 in the Southern Hemisphere. For those paying close attention, those same dates are the ones in the opposite hemisphere to denote the winter solstice. Historically, the summer solstice has been seen as an important time of the year in cultures all over the world. This day, also known as Midsummer or Estival Solstice, is usually marked by rituals, celebrations, and festivals. However, even in places where it’s not treated as a special occasion, it’s still marked as the first official day of summer. It’s also traditionally a time when people spend more time outdoors—enjoying activities such as barbecuing, swimming, playing sports, attended beaches, visiting National Parks, and playing sports. The History Of The Summer SolsticeObservations of the June or Summer Solstice have occurred since prehistory. Even before ancient peoples had a system for calculating the movement of the sun or the length of the seasons, people understood that at this time of year, there was more sunlight than at any other time of the year. Although celebrations vary widely from place to place and from time to time, we thought that we’d select three different summer solstice celebrations from history and talk a little bit more about them. The three historical summer solstice celebrations that we’re going to be talking about are Native American traditional tribal celebrations, pagan rituals at Stonehenge, and the ancient Roman celebrations of Vesta. Modern Summer Solstice Traditions, Celebrations & ObservationsThe June Solstice is a time when most schools in the United States are off for summer break and more and more people are heading out on vacation. While the day isn’t celebrated so much, the season it begins is important to many people living in the U.S. Many Americans also take their vacations during this time.This time of the year is also the start of the summer grilling or BBQ season. In the United States, there are a variety of different types of BBQ—all determined by the region where the BBQ takes place. While a lot of different BBQ styles migrate from one place to another, a lot of different parts of the country are known for a particular type of BBQ. For example, in Memphis, pork is dry rubbed and pulled and served with a side of BBQ sauce. In Central Texas, the meat is the star of the show and huge beef briskets and ribs are emphasized. In St. Louis, pork steaks made from thinly slicing pork butts are grilled and covered with a thick tomato BBQ sauce.MUSIC IS NOT OURS NO CLAIMS TO IT AT ALL IT WAS PROVIDED TO YOUTUBE THANKS WE CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER CAN YOU ?
