    Traditional celebration:
    "Ligo" & "Jani" or summer starting celebration..

      Sorry about my wife's post on this thread - she posted on all my SMAC threads while I was in hospital, she had no way to tell which I was playing in. Doing fine now.

        Welcome back, Shawnmmcc! Glad to see you are doing fine.

        Ligo and Jani? Is that a local or religion related?

        2130 has been passed to the Hive.
        Who is Barinthus?

          2130 to the Uni

          Ack, these holidays are not timing themselves particularly well... I was going to be away skiing on the 24th to 31st of July

          I might have internet access down there though so, I may be able to keep up anyway

              Both:
              Tradition to celebrate the longest day of year dates back to origins of agriculture & farming in this region..

              Actually Baltic tribes had such a tradition long before they migrated to present territory of Latvia

              It is one of the oldest traditions of the world so it's impossible to weigh out whether it's religious or local/national tradition.

              And you must remember that
              traditions + ambitions = religion

              So it's almost the same except of "ambitions" factor
              Muhammad wouldn't have developed Islam if he hadn't got the intention to unite the Arabic tribes & belief that all other religions are "wrong" or "imperfect"..
              I must admit that this belief is mostly based on tradition & mentality too..

              Christianity celebrates this day too but with much less devotion.
              "Ligo & Jani" is the most popular celebration in Latvia
              And I mean "in Latvia" not "of Latvians" because most of other nations living here celebrate them too..
