The latest from Fr. Stephen Freeman. I never knew of the connection that Groundhog Day has to theology.

“ancient faith” ain’t but 2023 years old, by their premise.

the real ancient faith, that “ancient faith” would call myth, is where the groundhog story comes from, is where Feb 2nd is called ‘imbolc’ by some, and in ye olde agrarian calendars, is the first day of spring.

Thanks for posting this interesting article. We always watch Groundhog Day the movie today. It is an exploration of the idea of purgatory something I didn’t understand the first dozen or so times I saw it.
