Celebrating the change in seasons!

 Just like the liturgical season makes sense like Advent starting four Sundays before Christmas and not when “they” and the commercial industry says it begins for maximizing consumer consumption season! There is also an actual date every year that a new season begins, and this has to do with the actual day that it occurs as it can vary within a few days every year. 

The Fall equinox marks equal daylight and night and happens around September 22nd or 23rd.

Take time to admire all the beautiful changes in colors of the leaves! 

The Winter Solstice marks the day with the least amount of sunlight and happens around December 20th-23rd. 

Something snowflake related for fun! 

The Spring Equinox marks equal daylight and night and happens around March 20th or 21st 

Plant a garden! 

The Summer Solstice marks the most Daylight than night around June 20th-22nd

Enjoy the outdoors! 

It is fun  to recognize and celebrate this occasion as an official shift in seasons in our home, through how we decorate, what kind of food we make, the colors we wear seasonally and liturgically! It’s fun to have a real marker based on what the Earth and Sun are doing based on the Earth’s rotation!
