Your demonstration that it is a quarter day seems a lot more convincing
to my mind than the other poster's demonstration that the summer
solstice is on Jun 21st and his assertion without proof that midsummer
day must also be on jun 21st.


My assertion actually was that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for
anything to be celebrated on the 24th June. Tradition is not a reason. The
24th June has no real signifigance. At all.

Would you also apply that to the various religious festivals? After all,
they have nothing other than tradition behind them.
