Happy First of June and the beginning of Summer! This time of year comes with lots of joy, relaxing and vacations for families with children in school, but it is also the time of year that many people get married!
June is the month with the longest daylight hours of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest daylight hours of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. Just think of all the late evening outdoor events with the cool summer breeze and beautiful sunsets.
June in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent to December in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.
June is known for the large number of marriages that occur over the course of the month. According to one etymology, June is named after Juno (Hera). Juno was the goddess of marriage and a married couple's household, so some consider it good luck to be married in this month.[1]
In Iceland, folklore says that if you bathe naked in the morning dew on the morning of June 24, you are supposed to keep aging at bay for longer.
In both common and leap years, no other month begins on the same day of the week as June. This month and May are the only two months that have this property. June ends on the same day of the week as March every year. This definitely doesn't ever lead to confusion over your anniversary date.
Juneteenth, (aka Freedom Day or Emancipation Day) occurs primarily in Texas on June 19.So, what are you planning for this summer?
