Hello everyone ! How is this Friday, February 2, 2024? Today we celebrate Candlemas. And it’s not just pancake festival! This religious festival closes the cycle of the Nativity, after Christmas and Epiphany. It commemorates the presentation of Christ at the temple in Jerusalem and the purification of Mary. At the time, Jewish tradition dictated that firstborns be presented to the temple within forty days of their birth. A little culture can’t hurt. Another anecdote, about shining in society, a bowl of cider in hand? It happened on February 2, 1625: the Dutch founded a colony, called New Amsterdam, by establishing a fort on the island of Manhattan. The future New York was born! A judicious name change too. Frank Sinatra’s hit would have been less loud otherwise!
This Friday, the weather will not really be good: gray still dominates in the morning with a risk of numerous banks of fog and patches of fog. Caution ! Over the hours, some clearings may appear but the low clouds will be very persistent. Recalcitrant mists and fogs remain possible on the coast. The maximums are 12°C in Brest. The sun will rise at 8:45 a.m. and set at 6:17 p.m. On the sea side, it will be full at 9:12 a.m. and low at 3:42 p.m. On the traffic side, it’s the usual routine on this weekend’s eve. end.
Finally, today we celebrate the Théophanes. And also the Theophanies. If you know any… The saying of the day? “If on Candlemas the sun shines as soon as it rises, there will be nuts under the walnut trees.” They are celebrating their birthday: singer Phil Barney (67 years old), dancer Marie-Claude Pietragalla (61 years old), politician Christiane Taubira (72 years old), musician Melody Gardot (39 years old), footballer Gerard Piqué (37 years old). ) and his ex, the singer Shakira (47 years old). But are they only on good terms to wish each other a “feliz cumpleaños”?
