DESCRIPTION:

Groundhog Day is an American tradition with roots in the Roman Empire, though it combines pagan ritual with Christian observances. It coincides with Candlemas, the date in the Christian calendar 40 days after the birth of Christ representing the purification of the Virgin Mary. This is the reason Groundhog day occurs on February 2nd.

Various legends in Europe state that if the sun shines on Candlemas, winter will continue. If it is cloudy, winter will end early. The idea of using an animal to predict the length of winter comes from the Romans. The Romans often used the exit from hibernation of various animals to predict future events and omens.

Punxsutawney Phil is the name of the Groundhog who is used to predict whether winter will continue or if it will be an early spring. It’s big event each year reported all of the United states. The first time Punxsutawney Phil was used to predict the weather was in 1886.
