| | the summer solstice (around june 21st) |
 | | The full moon in June is known as the Mead or Honey Moon, and mead is a traditional drink for Litha, just as June is a popular time for weddings and hence honeymoons. | | | The first time this occurs each year is called the star’s heliacal rising, and on this day Sirius remains visible for only a short time before the sky gets too bright to see it. | | | Just as the winter solstice festival was appropriated by the Christian church to celebrate Christ's birth, so the popular summer solstice festival was taken to mark the birth of one of the church's most important saints: the cousin and baptizer of Jesus, John the Baptist. |

| | Summer solstice celebrations of Christianity, Judaism, Neopaganism, etc |
| | The first (or only) full moon in June is called the Honey Moon. | | | Thus the solstice celebrations of other religions are rejected because they are viewed as Satanic in origin. | | | The Summer Solstice is also known as: Alban Heflin, Alben Heruin, All-couples day, Feast of Epona, Feast of St. John the Baptist, Feill-Sheathain, Gathering Day, Johannistag, Litha, Midsummer, Sonnwend, Thing-Tide, Vestalia, etc. |

| | Paper: Tom Zuidema |
| | The first two movements were done by priests, called Tarpuntay, during the whole (Incaic) month around the June solstice, when the king went to a temple north of Cuzco in order to observe for himself the sunset of this event. | | | In June, the priests went slowly up to the source of the river to drink to the Sun and to warm him up with bonfires. | | | Although Quiancalla marked the point of June solstice sunset, this event was observed from outside the road of procession. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Today's issues Summer solstice |
| | In Celtic cultures, the June solstice represented midsummer, the midpoint between the start of the Gaelic summer on May 1 and the onset of autumn on August 1. | | | Ancient cultures once believed that the sexual union of the gods took place in May. So marriages would be held over until the first (or only) full moon in June, also the best time to harvest the honey used in making celebratory mead. | | | The henge (stone circle) of henges is a magnet for people of Pagan faiths and those seeking a true solstice dawn experience. |

| | Thus, as you say "the ordinary Orthodox" is to mind his own relationship with God or participation in the Gace He gives, as offered through the Church. | | | You say that you are Orthodox, but you delight in living in the realm of the mind in a manner which the Fathers of the Church shunned. | | | For normal Orthodox, they should not concern themselves so much with the niceties of heretical thinking at all, as they should with the state of one's own relationship to God -- that is, the state of one's own struggle toward purity. |
