#Imbolc (
#Celtic #Pagan ),
#Candlemas (
#catholic ), St. Brigids day(
#Irish catholic),
#Setsubun (
#japanese ). 4 holidays most Americans are oblivious to, and just know it as groundhog day. Days when the Ewes started to give milk, people would get their plows blessed and related to pagan rituals in both rome and Celtic regions. The points between the solstices similar Samhain (halloween), Beltain (may day) and Lammas,
In Catholic Europe its mostly catholic
#pancake (
#crepes in france) day as it symbolizes the sun. In Mexican tradition its tamales.
Setsubun is a day where you throw beans either adzuki red beans or roasted soy beans depending the region at someone dressed as an oni (japanese ogre) as a way to send bad luck out of your house and eat unsliced sushi rolls for long life, along with other foods depending on the region.
So have some pancakes or crepes for breakfast, and tamales for lunch and some sushi for dinner, maybe the groundhog will bring you some magic beans to throw at the oni for luck.
