DESCRIPTION:

Groundhog Day is an American tradition with roots in the Roman Empire, though it combines pagan rituals 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. It is the reason Groundhog day occurs on February 2nd.

Various legends in Europe state that winter will continue if the sun shines on Candlemas, and 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 the hibernation of various animals to predict future events, regarding the creatures as omens.

Punxsutawney Phil of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, is the name of the groundhog used to predict whether winter will continue or spring will be early. It’s a big event each year reported all over the United States. The first time Punxsutawney Phil predicted the weather was in 1886.
