Happy solstice, for those who celebrate it.... it doesn't work for me, per se, but I respect the choices of others to follow their own spiritual paths.

A useful link for those inclined to planetary movement-based holidays (solstice, equinoxes, etc) is here, with tables of dates and UTC times of each from 1992-2020.

Um.

I think you're conflating "neo-pagan" with "non-JCI", here.

*Lots* of cultures celebrate the Solistice, not just neo-pagans.

Hm... okay, and I admit to being ignorant of those other worldviews or faiths. It isn't something I see in Islam or Judaism...

Having knowledge of JCI practices gives one an impression of having a broad religious knowledge, but on a practical note, it's a lot like knowing three Indo-European languages and feeling that that gives one a broad knowledge of languages in general.

JCI holidays tend to be commemorations of specific points of religious history, but a lot of non-JCI religions have "cycle of the year" celebrations.
