St. John's Day

On June 24th, our neighbors to the north celebrate St. John's Day. In Quebec, the festivities occur on June 23 and June 24. This is/was originally a religious holiday in the Roman Catholic Church. This was a holiday honouring the patron saint of French Canadians -- (St.) John the Baptist.

That is only a holiday in Quebec. Most Canadians don't even know about it.

Cheers,
