A Blessed Solstice! Summer Is Icumen In:
Summer is a-coming in
Loudly sing cuckoo
Groweth seed and bloweth mead
and springs the wood anew
Sing cuckoo!

Cuckoo, cuckoo!
Well singest thou cuckoo,
Nor cease thou never now!
Sing cuckoo now, Sing cuckoo!

For example, there is the Polish festival that “celebrates the end of Lent” which is filled with spring-time fertility rites. It [...]

I’m imagining a Paschal Vigil service with John Chrysostom’s Paschal Homily and the Exultet.
