Today* is the Summer Solstice, and with it comes celebration. As you probably already know, it’s the longest day of the year; that is, we get more sun in these 24 hours than we will until the next Summer Solstice. In Winter we celebrate the opposite end of the spectrum.
Quartz tells us: The summer solstice is ancient nature worship with lasting universal appeal.
