Happy summer solstice! Today is the longest day of the year for those of us in the northern hemisphere – in Montpelier VT, the sun will rise at 5:06 a.m. and set at 8:37 p.m. This solstice marks the beginning of summer and has been an important phenomenon across cultures for thousands of years. Read about the various solstice traditions from fires to flower garlands in the book The Longest Day: Celebrating the Summer Solstice by Wendy Pfeffer.
