Every year I have to explain just this to family and friends, for I am an old fashioned girl who honours the old fashioned Candlemas.
Fun piece from CBC journalist Ainsley Hawthorn on the history of Christmas https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/christmas-historic-decorations-1.7421565 #HistoryofChristmas

The best description of bees on hot, still days. Ever.
“The sullen murmur of the bees shouldering their way through the long unmown grass, or circling with monotonous insistence round the dusty gilt horns of the straggling woodbine, seemed to make the stillness more oppressive”

Here's an interesting entrance to a rabbit hole.
What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

On this day in 1120, the White Ship sank en route from Barfleur to Southampton. William Ætheling, King Henry I’s only legitimate son and heir to the throne, drowned. Henry had already reached Southampton on another ship. This disaster eventually led to a succession crisis and civil war.
