The Old Farmer's Almanac: Word of the Day

Midsummer Day
June 24. Although it occurs near the summer solstice, to the farmer this day
is the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvest
and an occasion for festivity. The English church considered it a "Quarter
Day," one of the four major divisions of the liturgical year. It also marks
the feast day of St. John the Baptist.
