The Summer Solstice Impact
The longest day of the year can bring energy—or anxiety. Here’s how solstice light in the Northern Hemisphere can affect your brain and body.
Many Orthodox churches base their Easter date on the Julian calendar, which often differs from the Gregorian calendar that is used by many western countries. Therefore the Orthodox Easter period often occurs later than the Easter period that falls around the time of the March equinox.
